  • If you are behind or beside a tram when it stops at a tram stop that doesn’t have a safety zone, you must stop also.
  • After stopping, you may proceed at no more than 10km/h if the tram doors are closed and nobody is crossing to or from the tram.
  • You can also proceed past a stationary tram if you are told to do so by “an authorised person”.

But let’s not get side-tracked while I’m sticking it to Bracksy!
