The tram only has priority when it comes from the left at an equal junction; when turning or entering a road, the ordinary straight-ahead or right-turn rules apply to the tram, just like a car.

Explanation

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
