How should the tram driver drive when approaching an intersection?

Explanation

Correct answer: Coasting or braking.

Approaching a junction, which is an area of increased traffic and potential conflict with other road users, the tram driver is required to exercise particular care. Coasting or using the brakes allows for constant control of the speed and preparation for a potential stop. Accelerating in such a situation would be a dangerous manoeuvre, as it would significantly increase the tram's braking distance.
