Why should you give cyclists and motorcyclists extra room where tram rails are set in the road?
- The rails carry a strong electric current to their tyres
- The rails can be slippery, and they may need more space to cross safelyCorrect
- Cyclists are not allowed near tram rails
- Rails make motorcycles go faster
Why?
Rule 306 of The Highway Code warns that cyclists and motorcyclists should take extra care near tram rails, which can be slippery, and may need more room to cross them safely. Give them space and do not force them onto the rails.
