Does the visible sign warn you of approaching a crossing that runs through tram tracks?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video you are driving along a wide street in a city; on the right, behind a fence, there are tram tracks with an overhead contact line, and by the roadway there is a yellow triangle with a tram symbol - sign A-21 "tram". It warns you that you are approaching a place where the road crosses tram tracks. The answer is: yes.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-21 "tram" warns of a place where the road crosses tram tracks; if there is plate T-7 under the sign, it shows the layout of the tracks and the road at this crossing. Here the tram tracks run next to the roadway, so further on they must cross it - and that is exactly what the sign tells you. The Road Traffic Act gives a rail vehicle right of way over other vehicles regardless of the side it is coming from, and a tram needs a stopping distance several times longer than a car and cannot swerve. Warning signs require you to exercise particular caution - before the crossing you slow down, look both ways along the tracks, do not drive onto the tracks when there is no room beyond the crossing, and remember that the Act prohibits stopping a vehicle on a tram crossing and less than 10 m from it.

Legal basis: § 10 para. 3 and § 3 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 2 and Art. 49 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
