When sharing the road with a light rail vehicle, it’s essential to be aware of its size and speed, as light rail trains can be much larger and travel faster than typical vehicles. Always yield the right of way to light rail vehicles at intersections and be cautious when crossing tracks, ensuring that no trains are approaching. Stay alert for signals and signs indicating the presence of light rail, and avoid stopping on or near the tracks to ensure safety for all road users. Lastly, maintain a safe distance when driving near light rail vehicles to prevent accidents.
Not run into it. The light rail vehicle is a TRAIN; it's going on TRACKS. It can't swerve or turn, and the brakes aren't all that good. Don't get in its way.

The tracks within and around a city are commonly referred to as "urban rail" or "light rail" systems. These can include tram, streetcar, or metro lines that facilitate public transportation. Additionally, the term "commuter rail" may apply to train services that connect suburban areas to a central city.
Trains that run on tracks.
Metal can expand slightly when heated by the sun, a small gap allows the rail to expand, that said modern rail tracks are welded and do not have these gaps.

Railroad tracks can bend when they get hot. Train tracks have a small gap where one rail meets the next rail. These are called expansion joints. When it is hot the rails expand making the gap smaller, and when it is cold the rails contract making the joints wider. If the expansion joints are not wide enough and the rail gets hot enough it will expand more than the expansion joint can handle and the rails can buckle. In other situations the rails can get what are called sun kinks and the rails actually bend out of alignment.
