A rail vehicle is emerging onto the road from a terminus. Are you obliged to yield the right of way?

Description

Art. 17 para. 1 pt. 4) and para. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, because in this situation the tram is joining the flow of traffic. According to Art. 17 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver joining the flow of traffic, including when leaving a terminus loop, is obliged to give way to other road users. This is one of the exceptional situations where a rail vehicle does not have the right of way.
