- Look both ways – streetcars can come from either direction.
- Listen for streetcar bells.
- Don't use cell phones and remove ear buds.
- Don't walk, bike, skateboard, jog or play around tracks.
- Don't take shortcuts across the tracks.
- Don't walk near a parked streetcar. It may move without warning.
- Always stop at intersections and crossings.
- Wait for the streetcar to pass.
- Obey all signs and signals.
