164A Tram stopping beside a driver at a tram stop

(a) a tram drives alongside, or passes, a driver travelling in the same direction as the tram; and

(c) there is no safety zone, dividing strip or traffic island between the tram and the part of the road where the driver is driving.

Dividing strip, traffic island and tram stop are defined in the dictionary. Safety zone is defined in rule 162.

(2) The driver must stop or, if stopped, remain stopped.

(4) After stopping in accordance with subrule (2), if the tram remains at the tram stop and subrules (3)(a) and (3)(b) do not apply, the driver must not proceed past the tram at a speed greater than 10 kilometres per hour.

(5) However, subrules (2), (3) and (4) do not apply if the driver is directed to drive past the tram by a uniformed employee of a public transport operator or by a police officer engaged in carrying out their duties.
