Is it necessary to reduce the speed of the tram when passing the rail switch?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes, it is mandatory.

A switch is a mechanical component of the tramway that changes a tram's direction of travel, therefore crossing it requires particular care. Reducing speed is mandatory to prevent the vehicle from derailing and to ensure that its wheels are correctly guided onto the correct track.
