What behavior is required of a tram driver driving through the rail switches and frogs?

Explanation

Correct answer: To reduce the speed.

Points and crossings are mechanical elements of the track that enable a change of track and require precise guidance of the wheels. Crossing them at high speed creates a serious risk of damaging these mechanisms or derailing the tram. Therefore, to ensure the complete safety and comfort of passengers, the tram driver is required to significantly reduce speed.
