What actions should you anticipate at such stops?

In this scenario, you should be cautious around tram stops. The correct anticipation is that pedestrians may not always pay attention as they exit the tram-stop island (choice 1) and could try to cross the road unexpectedly (choice 2).

According to German traffic laws, vehicles must be vigilant and prepared to stop when there is a tram and pedestrians are present, as they often step off the tram and directly into the road without waiting for traffic to clear.

The importance of recognizing both actions is crucial for ensuring safety. Neglecting to be aware of these potential behaviors can lead to accidents. Pedestrians are often less visible once they leave the safety of the tram area, making awareness essential for drivers.
