The attached photo by Arthur Stone suffers a bit from being a night
shot, but has plenty of interest.

T180 is sitting at the Bourke St tram terminus in 1967 and the model of
VR loco B 60 is on display at Spencer St station in the background.

A Taitset video:

 

“A look at roadside tram stops in Melbourne: why they exist, how to not get run over at them, and how to not run people over at them.”

I like his idea of painting zebra crossing stripes at stops. It's simple and cheap to implement and motorists are already used to look for pedestrians when approaching such a crossing.

 

Best wishes,

Malcolm
