Tram Signs, Signals and Road Markings

Tram signs, signals and road markings tell drivers, riders and pedestrians how trams operate on or alongside the road, where tram-only routes run, and how other traffic should behave near tram tracks and stops. This page explains what these tram signs, signals and markings mean, how to recognise them quickly, and links to every individual sign, signal, and road marking in this category so you can revise them for your car theory test, motorcycle theory test, HGV / LGV theory test, PCV theory test, or ADI Part 1 theory test.

What are tram signs, signals and road markings?

Tram signs, signals and road markings are part of the UK road and traffic sign system used to give drivers and riders clear, helpful details about where trams run, how tram priority works and how other traffic must behave around tram tracks. They help you understand when a lane or route is for trams only, how to respond to tram signals, and where you should not stop or turn, so you can plan your journey safely and confidently.

You'll usually see:

  • Tram-only route and lane signs showing where only trams (and sometimes other authorised vehicles) are allowed.
  • Tram road markings such as 'TRAM' word markings and lines showing where other vehicles must not enter or stop.

Understanding these tram signs, signals and road markings is essential if you regularly drive in towns and cities with tram systems - and they can all appear in your DVSA driving theory test and hazard perception test.
