26. 軌道
軌道は、トラム、列車、その他の鉄道車両を案内する2本のレールです。道路沿いを走る場合、道路を横切る場合、車道内に埋め込まれて鉄道車両と他の道路利用者が同じ区域を通る場合があります。
鉄道車両は障害物を避けて操舵できず、停止に長い距離を必要とするため、軌道付近では特に注意します。運転者、自転車利用者、歩行者は優先規則、信号、警告標識、横断規則に従い、不要に軌道を塞いではいけません。
What is a track?
A track consists of rails that guide trams, trains or other rail vehicles. Tracks may be separated from ordinary traffic or incorporated into a road.
Can tram tracks run along an ordinary road?
Yes. Tram tracks may be embedded in the carriageway and share part of the road with other traffic, depending on the local road layout and traffic rules.
Who has priority when a road crosses tram tracks?
The applicable priority rules vary between countries, but rail vehicles commonly receive special priority because they cannot leave their tracks. Always obey traffic lights, signs and local rules.
Can you drive on tram tracks?
This depends on the road layout and local regulations. Tracks incorporated into an ordinary traffic lane may sometimes be used by other vehicles, while reserved tram tracks or separate railway tracks may not.
Can you stop or park on railway or tram tracks?
You should never stop or park where your vehicle would obstruct a rail vehicle. Local traffic law may specifically prohibit stopping or parking on or close to tracks.
Why are tracks dangerous for cyclists and motorcyclists?
Wheels can slip on wet rails or become trapped in the groove beside a rail. Riders should cross tracks carefully and, where possible, at an angle that reduces the risk of a wheel following the rail groove.
Should you follow a tram closely?
No. Maintain sufficient distance so that you can react safely if the tram stops, passengers enter the roadway or traffic conditions change.
Can pedestrians cross tram tracks?
Yes, where crossing is permitted, but pedestrians should carefully check for approaching rail vehicles and obey pedestrian lights and crossing restrictions.
Is a tram track the same as a railway level crossing?
No. Tram tracks can be incorporated directly into a street or carriageway. A railway level crossing is a specific place where a road or path crosses railway tracks, usually with dedicated warning signs or signals.
What should you do if traffic stops while you are crossing tracks?
Do not enter a track crossing unless there is enough space to clear it completely. Never deliberately stop where a tram or train could be blocked.
