🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️ Slow down around trams! When a tram is stopped, you must not pass it, keep your vehicle level with the rear of the tram. Once all pedestrians are on, and the doors have closed you can pass the tram.

The tram routes where passengers dice with death

Leadfoot drivers are illegally driving past stopped trams in record numbers, and motorists are snubbing their noses at the road rule at least once a day in Melbourne.
