My understanding of the setup in many places is it will be footpath,
tramway/busway (2 tracks/lanes), road (2 lane), footpath. It appears
that the tramway will be raised and patterned differently to the road.
As far as intersections go, well I suppose they will be in effect the
same as any intersection where there is a roadside tramway, albeit
generally controlled by traffic lights.
