These types of accidents are unfortunately not uncommon in Berlin. Due to the dense population and many tram routes, there are always dangerous situations between pedestrians and trams. In the past, the Berlin police have increasingly carried out controls and pronounced warnings to pedestrians who have not behaved properly in the area of tram tracks. It is important that both tram drivers and pedestrians are particularly attentive in such situations and observe the traffic rules. It is also advisable not to concentrate on distractions such as turning a cigarette while you are near tram tracks.
