What it means

People crossing the road to a tram at its stop: what is the rule?

A tram stands on its tracks in the centre of the road. On the footpath a white sign with a green T marks the stop. Two people are walking across the traffic lane from the footpath towards the tram doors, along a faint dotted line. The yellow car is coming up that lane with only a short yellow arrow ahead of it, because it slows down to let them reach the tram.

What to do

  1. 1

    Slow down as soon as you see a tram at a stop.

  2. 2

    Watch the footpath for people heading to the doors.

  3. 3

    Give way to anyone crossing, and keep clear of the tram.
