When turning right, are you obliged to make sure that no rail vehicle is approaching?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

A general S-1 traffic light showing a green signal permits entry beyond the signal, but it does not guarantee a conflict-free turn. When turning right, the driver will cross tram tracks. According to the rules, in a situation of equal priority (when both the tram and the car have a green light), the rail vehicle has the right of way, therefore you must check if a tram is approaching.
