What it means
What does the tram lane sign mean in NSW?
A black tram with its pantograph raised on the roof sits at the top of a tall white plate, with LANE in big letters below it. A diagonal arrow at the bottom points down to the lane it controls. That lane is for trams and light rail. Cars stay out of it apart from the limited cases the rules allow, and a driver must never sit in the way of a tram.
What to do
- 1
Stay in the general traffic lanes, even when they crawl.
- 2
Enter only where the rules permit, and only for as long as needed.
- 3
Never stop or queue across tram tracks where you could block a tram.
