212. Arrêt de tram
Un arrêt de tram est un emplacement désigné où un tram s’arrête pour permettre aux passagers de monter ou de descendre. Il peut être situé le long d’un trottoir, sur un quai surélevé ou un îlot-refuge, ou à côté de rails intégrés directement à la chaussée.
Les conducteurs et autres usagers doivent approcher les arrêts de tram avec une prudence particulière, car les passagers peuvent devoir traverser une partie de la route pour rejoindre ou quitter le tram. Les règles de stationnement, de dépassement et de priorité autour des arrêts varient selon les pays ; les usagers doivent donc respecter les panneaux et réglementations locales.
What is a tram stop?
A tram stop is a designated place where trams stop so that passengers can board or leave the vehicle.
How can you recognise a tram stop?
Tram stops are usually identified by a stop sign, platform, shelter, timetable or public-transport markings. Their appearance varies between countries and transport networks.
Can a tram stop be located in the middle of a road?
Yes. Some tram stops have a central platform or refuge island, while others require passengers to cross part of the roadway between the pavement and the tram.
Should drivers slow down near a stopped tram?
Yes. Passengers may be boarding, leaving or crossing the roadway near the tram. Drivers should reduce speed where necessary and be prepared to stop.
Can passengers cross the road to reach a tram?
Yes. At some stops passengers must cross a traffic lane to reach the tram. Local traffic laws may require approaching drivers to stop or give passengers sufficient opportunity to cross safely.
Can you park at a tram stop?
Parking at or near a tram stop is commonly prohibited or restricted so that trams and passengers can use the stop safely. The required clearance distance varies between countries.
Can you overtake a tram stopped at a tram stop?
This depends on the road layout and local traffic rules. Where passing is permitted, drivers must take particular care for passengers entering or leaving the roadway.
Do trams have priority when leaving a tram stop?
Trams commonly benefit from special priority rules because they are restricted to their tracks. The exact priority rules depend on the country and traffic-control system.
Can cyclists pass a tram that is boarding passengers?
Only when this can be done legally and safely. Cyclists should be particularly alert for passengers crossing a cycle lane or roadway between the tram and the pavement.
What should pedestrians do at a tram stop?
Wait in the designated waiting area where one is provided, obey pedestrian signals and check carefully for approaching traffic before crossing any roadway or cycle facility to reach the tram.
