At street-running tram stops there is often no raised platform, so passengers step directly from the carriageway onto the tram.
The sign tells drivers to expect people in the road, including passengers hurrying to catch a tram.
What this sign means
A tram stop lies ahead. Passengers may be crossing the road in front of or behind a stationary tram.
Road markings may prohibit overtaking a stopped tram at the platform.
What to do when you see it
Slow down and be ready to stop for people in the road.
- Do not pass a tram that is boarding passengers where markings forbid it.
- Watch for people running for the tram.
- Give extra room to wheelchair users and buggies boarding.
- Never park at or near a tram stop.
