Kewl! You were a conductor for a Tram?
It was nice of you to let the Emergency Vehicle through at the
Crossing. I had a friend of mine tell me whe he was at Parramatta Rd. a
police car (with Sirens and Lights) was waiting at the crossing.

I was also told by someone saying the trains have the right of way on a
crossing (Not like on the old TV commercial how the train stops to let
the Luxury car through!)

But anyway, yeah there is some safety regulation on trams and right of
way.
