When sharing the road with a light rail vehicle, you:

May not drive in the lane next to the light rail vehicle.
Always yield to the light rail vehicle, even if you have the right-of-way.
Should monitor all traffic signals closely because light rail vehicles can interrupt traffic signals.
May turn in front of an approaching light rail vehicle at an uncontrolled intersection.
Explanation

While light rail vehicles have the same rights and responsibilities as other vehicles, their presence can influence the operation of traffic signals. It's essential to stay alert and monitor all traffic signals closely when sharing the road with light rail vehicles. This ensures you only proceed when it's safe, particularly when turning across tracks or approaching intersections, as light rail vehicles can sometimes interrupt or influence traffic light cycles.
