Article 31Stopping or Reducing Speed If Streetcars Are Stopped

第三十一条(停車中の路面電車がある場合の停止又は徐行)

Having caught up with a streetcar that has stopped to load or unload passengers, the driver of a vehicle must stop behind the streetcar until it finishes loading and unloading passengers and until all persons who have alighted from the streetcar have finished crossing or are no longer trying to cross ahead of the vehicle on the left side of the streetcar; provided, however, that, if there is a safety zone in place to ensure the safety of persons boarding and alighting from a streetcar or if no person is boarding or alighting from a streetcar and it is possible to maintain a distance of at least 1.5 meters from the left side of the streetcar, a vehicle may pass the streetcar on its left side at a reduced speed.

車両は、乗客の乗降のため停車中の路面電車に追いついたときは、当該路面電車の乗客が乗降を終わり、又は当該路面電車から降りた者で当該車両の前方において当該路面電車の左側を横断し、若しくは横断しようとしているものがいなくなるまで、当該路面電車の後方で停止しなければならない。ただし、路面電車に乗降する者の安全を図るため設けられた安全地帯があるとき、又は当該路面電車に乗降する者がいない場合において当該路面電車の左側に当該路面電車から一・五メートル以上の間隔を保つことができるときは、徐行して当該路面電車の左側を通過することができる。
