Yes.
Streetcars (more commonly known as trams or Light Rail) use the same sort of tracks as normal trains. The only difference is that when they are running along streets the tracks are recessed into the road surface so that other vehicles can use the same road.
There are some cases where trams share the same tracks with normal trains (suburban, intercity, freight), then when they get into the city they run in the streets so passengers can get nearer to their final destinations. These are called 'Tram-Trains'.
One restriction is that in some cities the trams use tracks that are a different gauge (distance between the rails) to normal railways. Narrow gauge allows the trams to go around tighter corners - useful in a city. This is the case in the city where I live where the trams are 'metre gauge' (1 metre or 1000 mm between the tracks) instead of the standard gauge of 1435 mm.
