You intend to continue driving straight on. Do you have the right of way over a rail vehicle turning right, into the depot?

Correct answer: NO

🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching an intersection with a tram. The rail vehicle is performing a right turn, leaving its current track to enter a depot. Your goal is to proceed straight through the same intersection.

📖 Explanation of the rule: According to traffic regulations, trams generally have priority over wheeled vehicles in most road situations. However, there is a significant exception: when a tram changes direction by leaving the tracks (e.g., entering or exiting a depot), it becomes a traffic participant that, in this specific relationship, must yield to vehicles proceeding straight ahead. Your straight-ahead movement follows the main flow of traffic, and the tram, by crossing your path during its turn, loses its priority in this specific interaction.

💡 Tip: Never assume a tram always has priority in every situation, but exercise extreme caution. Trams have significant mass and braking distances—ensure that the tram driver is actually yielding before you decide to continue driving.
