About Tram priority: three exceptions, not an absolute right: which statement is WRONG?

  1. When the tram approaches a priority road the ordinary rules apply and it has no special priority; pedestrians on the zebra crossing go before the tram too.
  2. There are two EXTRA exceptions besides 'from the left': also when the tram TURNS while you go straight ahead, and when the tram turns LEFT into a road while you turn right into the same road, the tram still gets priority.
  3. The tram has its own exception rule: it goes first as soon as it comes from the LEFT (the reverse of the right-of-way rule for ordinary drivers), plus the two turning exceptions.
  4. ✓ A turning tram may always go before a pedestrian on the crossing, because the tram is bigger and cannot stop quickly.

Correct answer: A turning tram may always go before a pedestrian on the crossing, because the tram is bigger and cannot stop quickly.

Explanation

Explicit: a turning tram does NOT go before pedestrians crossing at a pedestrian crossing
