This statement is TRUE
Explanation
This matches Article 21(1). Driving along the tramway strip - the part of the road where the streetcar tracks are laid - is prohibited as a rule. The only exceptions are simply crossing it (to turn right or left, cross the road, or make a U-turn) and cases where it is unavoidable in order to prevent danger.
