Tram vs Pedestrian: Right of Way?
Honest road/pedestrian rules question: if both the pedestrian lights & the general traffic lights turn green at the same time, and the tram I just got off needs to cut across where I need to walk, which of us has the right of way? Do I cross first; or do I let the tram go first?
This happened almost a week ago; but, thankfully, the tram operator signalled me to cross first.
Most of the time, when a tram is at this junction, the T signal will light up…but there have been instances where it doesn’t. I just want to make sure I’m not breaking any rules or being a potential tram pancake (tramcake?) by crossing at the wrong time.
