Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video you are driving in the left lane of a wide street, right next to a tram stop island that separates the roadway from the tram tracks and is fenced off; a red tram is just arriving at the stop, and a passenger is standing on the island. When driving past such a stop, you are obliged to exercise particular caution. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act requires the driver to exercise particular caution when driving past a marked tram stop that is not located next to a footway (droga dla pieszych); if the stop has no island for passengers, and the tram is arriving at it or standing at it, the driver must also stop the vehicle to let pedestrians get to the tram freely. Here there is an island, so stopping is not necessary, but passengers who are late for the tram often run across the roadway - you slow down and watch the stop and the crossing, ready to brake.

Legal basis: Art. 26 para. 6 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
