You intend to make a U-turn. 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, the right-of-way rules when making a U-turn at an intersection are the same as when turning left. Even though you have a green light, Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act requires you to give way to a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction and proceeding straight. In this situation, the tram has the right of way, and you must wait for an opportunity to perform the manoeuvre safely.
