Explanation

Correct answer: No

From the perspective of a tram driver, a special signal light is visible on the right side of the track, displaying a signal in the shape of a horizontal line. Such a signal means a prohibition on entering past the signal and is the equivalent of a red light in general signalling. According to § 97 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, the tram driver is obliged to stop and cannot continue driving.
