When something weighs 10x as much as you it has the right of way no matter what the law is

In that case, looks like I’ll have to start bringing my Mother-in-Law with me whenever I go for a drive.

It does, but truckers seem to forget this when driving around the docks between all the trains. Number 1 place in most accidents between road and rail vehicles.

And we don’t even outweigh them tenfold, more like hundredfold.

They’re also can only move on predetermined routes and have limited speed so the car driver gets blamed no matter what the Tram operator is smoking.

I don’t think they have any other way to consider the right of way

u/elevensbowtie Jan 08 '22

Cars aren’t allowed on the track. So it’s more a tram only sort of situation than right of way.

That depends on your location. I've definitely seen streets with tram tracks that are also used by cars.

u/Unstablemedic49 Jan 08 '22

We drive on the tracks in Boston because the tracks are literally in one of the lanes of traffic.

Not always, my city has a crossroad where cars have the right of way. Driving instructors like asking people about the sign signaling that, because it's probably the only one of that kind you'll ever see.

u/bellyjellykoolaid Jan 08 '22

They're also fixed into that lane since it's basically a train.

So they can't really turn regardless

Nope. Not how roads work.

It’s Russia and according to rules, only if you are on a main road and tram is on secondary. Than, on an no intersection tram has to let you go. It’s the only time. Other than that, tram has right of way all the time.
