During a tram stop resulting from road traffic conditions, are you allowed to turn on the emergency lights?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

In accordance with the Road Traffic Act, hazard warning lights are used to signal that a vehicle is stationary due to a breakdown or an accident. The stop shown in the photograph is due to normal traffic conditions, not an emergency situation; therefore, using the hazard warning lights is neither compulsory nor justified in this case.
