Does a tram have right of way at an equal-priority intersection?

At an equal-priority intersection, drivers must yield to a tram, whether it is coming from the left or the right.

What does this rule or driving tip mean?A tram is an exception to the normal right-of-way rule at an equal-priority intersection. Traffic lights, signs, and yield markings may regulate the situation differently.

How to apply this safelyLook ahead for tracks and tram signals.
Do not underestimate how fast a tram is approaching.
Stop at a safe distance from the tracks.

Driving lesson and test tipWhenever there are tracks, always check both the right-of-way rules and your clearance. A tram cannot swerve out of the way.

Remember: unless another rule applies, you must let a tram go first at an equal-priority intersection.
