Explanation

Correct answer: No

A point switch is a movable element of the track system used to change the direction of travel. Stopping a tram on it, especially a multi-carriage one, creates a serious risk of damaging the switch mechanism or derailing the vehicle, and is therefore a prohibited manoeuvre.
