About Equal-rank junction: no sign, but still a rule: which statement is WRONG?
- Braking decides nothing; the tram goes first, then the rechts-regel.
- ✓ At an equal-rank junction there must be a 'priority from the right' sign, otherwise the rule does not apply.
- Drivers must give way to trams, 'regardless of which direction the tram comes from'.
- The rechts-regel speaks of 'drivers coming from the right'; pedestrian crossing behaviour is governed by other rules (priority at crossings), not by this atom's rechts-regel.
Correct answer: At an equal-rank junction there must be a 'priority from the right' sign, otherwise the rule does not apply.
Explanation
'At equal-rank junctions there are no signs or markings that regulate priority.' No sign is precisely the defining feature of this junction type; the rechts-regel then applies automatically, without any sign
Why learners get this wrong
- Braking decides nothing; the tram goes first, then the rechts-regel
- Drivers must give way to trams, 'regardless of which direction the tram comes from'. The tram is the exception TO the rechts-regel, not an application of it
- The rechts-regel speaks of 'drivers coming from the right'; pedestrian crossing behaviour is governed by other rules (priority at crossings), not by this atom's rechts-regel
