<p>In Melbourne, Australia, where I lived for more than five years, the trams run down the midde of the street in most locations. </p> <p>In the downtown area passenger platforms separate the tram line from the roadway. Passengers getting on or off the trams can do so from the platforms. However, they still have to cross a traffic lane between the platform and the curb. Each year, whilst I lived in Melbourne, at least a few tram passengers were hit by motorists who did not see them whilst they were crossing the traffic lane between the platform and the curb.</p>
