Wait, streetcar tracks are for streetcars, right? We definitely can't drive on them.

Actually, this one's true! The sign literally permits you to use the tracks — normally they're off-limits, but this indication sign says you're allowed.

Oh wow, so the sign overrides the usual rule?

Yui

Exactly. Think of it as special permission — no sign, no driving on the tracks!
