a tram has stopped at a tram stop. all pedestrians have got off the tram and reached the kerb. the tram has closed its doors. how fast are you allowed to drive past the tram?

You are allowed to drive past the tram at no more than 10 km/h in this situation.

Why 10 km/h?

Even though:

• the tram has stopped at a tram stop,
• all pedestrians have got off and are on/at the kerb, and
• the tram has closed its doors,

road rules for sharing the road with trams (such as those applied in Victoria, Australia) state that when you pass the rear of a stopped tram at a tram stop, you must proceed at a maximum of 10 km/h once it is safe (doors closed, no pedestrians still crossing).

This low speed is designed to:

• Allow for last‑second pedestrian movements (someone running late for the tram, children, distracted pedestrians).

• Give drivers enough time to react if a pedestrian steps out unexpectedly from near the tram.

So, with the scenario exactly as described in the question, the correct answer is: up to 10 km/h past the stopped tram.

Example: In Victorian learner theory material, when asked this exact question (“A tram has stopped… all pedestrians have reached the kerb… doors closed. How fast are you allowed to drive past?”), the correct option given is “Up to 10 km/h.”

TL;DR: Once doors are closed and pedestrians are clear, you may pass the tram, but not faster than 10 km/h.
