Core: Tram priority: three exceptions, not an absolute right

Exception 1 applies at an equal junction (no signs/lights regulating priority); exceptions 2 and 3 apply wherever the tram turns, unless signs regulate priority otherwise: 1. The tram comes from the left — the reverse of the ordinary right-of-way rule. 2. The tram turns, while you go straight ahead on the same road. 3. The tram wants to turn left into a road, while you turn right into that same road. Outside these three situations the tram is not all-powerful: on a priority road the ordinary priority-road rules apply, no special tram priority. And a turning tram does NOT go before a pedestrian crossing at a pedestrian crossing (Book p.113).
