On the other hand, where a tram is running along a road, is there any

have to obey the same red/amber/green traffic lights as other traffic?


Croydon Tramlink doesn't have a signalling system. It's fairer to say
that the traffic light system includes lights targeted at tram
drivers.

Surely the white lights which show horizontal (stop), vertical (go) and
diagonal (junction) count as signals? The drivers certainly treat them like
signals!
