The sign “Traffic in both directions“ does not prohibit and is not involved in the prohibition of the overtaking maneuver. It is encountered when leaving a public road with one-way traffic and its role is to warn the driver that on the next road section traffic will be in both directions.
The overtaking maneuver is prohibited only in the case in which the tram station is without a refuge for pedestrians, without specifying a distance from which this maneuver is prohibited, and in this answer option it is not specified whether the station has or does not have a refuge for pedestrians and it specifies “at a distance less than 50 m from the tram station”. Therefore, this option cannot be considered correct.
