You intend to turn left. Do you have to yield the right of way to the rail vehicle?

Description

Art. 5 and art. 25 para. 1 and 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and § 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

Yes, because at an intersection with traffic lights, a driver turning left must give way to vehicles travelling straight from the opposite direction. According to Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, this rule applies to all vehicles, including the tram. Both your vehicle and the tram have a green light, so the direction of travel determines the right of way.
