In this situation, is the tram driver obliged to reduce the speed and if necessary stop?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

A tram driver approaching a marked pedestrian crossing is required to exercise special care and give way to a pedestrian who is on the crossing or entering it. The recording clearly shows that pedestrians are entering the crossing directly in front of the approaching tram. In this situation, the tram driver must reduce speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle to allow the pedestrians to cross the tracks safely.
