The trolley line frequently turns into roadways that are for trolleys only, and no other motorized vehicles can cross down, so pedestrians tend to feel okay walking in these streets, especially as slower-moving trolleys do not come as frequently. Regardless, it is important to stay off the tracks and only cross with correctly lighted street signs.
