A tram in a red triangle warns you of trams crossing ahead. This sign can be combined with a level crossing give-way sign. Trams approaching from both directions. A level crossing is where a road crosses a railway or tramway line. Approach and cross it with care.

The driver should exercise a high degree of care and caution. You MUST NOT enter a road, lane or other route reserved for trams. Take extra care where trams run along the road. You should avoid driving directly on top of the rails and should take care where trams leave the main carriageway to enter the reserved route, to ensure you do not follow them.
