Driving with Trams

The “Driving with trams” guide has all you need to know about sharing the road with Melbourne’s trams. Not only does the guide demystify the hook turn, it details other road rules such as giving way to all trams at roundabouts.

There’s help available for motorists who don’t know how to do a hook turn.

It’s essential information for anyone who’s learning to drive or new to Melbourne.

This guide is part of our efforts to reduce collisions between motor vehicles and trams.

We also want to ensure the safety of passengers getting on and off trams.

The "Driving with trams" brochure is available on board trams or from VicRoads customer service centres or by phoning the Think Tram team on 1300 309 571.
