Are you obliged in this situation to make sure that there is no tram approaching?

Description

Art. 5 and art. 28 para. 6 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended), in conjunction with § 10 para. 3, § 95 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended).

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

When approaching a tram crossing, the driver is obliged to exercise special caution, in accordance with Art. 28 para. 6 of the Road Traffic Act. Even if the traffic light shows green, this does not relieve the driver of the duty to ensure that no tram is entering the tracks. Rail vehicles have a very long braking distance, so it is necessary to maintain a principle of limited trust.
