Do you have to wait for passengers at a tram stop?

Drivers must give passengers crossing the roadway at a stop the chance to safely board or leave the tram.

Moet je wachten voor passagiers bij een tramhalte? – Rijmaatje

What does this traffic rule or driving tip mean? Not every tram stop has a separate platform. Passengers may walk directly across the roadway between the sidewalk and the tram. How to apply this safely Slow down as soon as a tram approaches the stop. Watch the doors, people waiting, and passengers getting off. Do not continue driving until no one needs to cross anymore. Driving lesson and test tip Do not let your attention focus only on the tram. The passengers determine whether the space next to the tram is safely clear. Remember: Tram at a stop? Expect passengers on the roadway and give them space. View the source: RVV 1990, article 52.
