In this situation, do you have the right of way over the tram?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction marked with signs A-7 "give way" and C-2 "turn right"; in front of you, from the right, a yellow tram is approaching on the tram tracks along the intersecting road. You do not have right of way over the tram - you are on a minor road, and the tram is travelling on the priority road. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-7 warns of a junction with a priority road, and its name tells you directly what to do - the Road Traffic Act requires you to follow signs, so you give way to everyone travelling on that road, including the tram. The Act adds that a rail vehicle has right of way over other vehicles no matter which side it is coming from, when right of way is not set by signs - here, in addition, the signs also give it right of way. You stop before the tracks, let the tram pass, and only then do you turn right as the sign orders.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 and Art. 25 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
