Transport for London is hoping a new campaign featuring flowers painted on the ground at 15 spots around Croydon, where trams share the streets with cars and pedestrians, will help make people more aware of their surroundings and avoid accidents with trams.
The message accompanying the flowers is: Don’t be remembered like this. Watch out for trams.
Other measures to improve the safety and comfort of the 71,000 passengers that use the system every day include the deployment of six Tramlink neighbourhood officers, improving sightlines for tram drivers and pedestrians and road markings showing the path of trams.
