Safety for Motorists

Learn how to stay safe while driving near the OC Streetcar.

Drive with Caution

Keep a minimum distance of 15 feet away and be prepared to stop behind streetcars. Streetcars stop in the lane to pick up passengers. Look out for passengers getting on or off the streetcars.

Respect the Streetcar

Never stop, idle or park your vehicle in the streetcar’s path. Avoid braking suddenly to avoid a collision – unless it is an emergency.

Keep Clear

Ensure your vehicle is parked close to the curb. Look around before opening car doors or putting your car into reverse.

Wait Your Turn

Stop behind lowered crossing gates and when red lights are flashing.
