Not trying to excuse the bad driving, but to be honest, signs and signals are shockingly awfully designed. Not sure if it's a Toronto, Ontario or a Canadian thing.

The Amsterdam streetcars still use sand, but we don't use grit in winter time (as it damages the roads). We do use a mixture of salt and sand. That, however isn't really a problem for grassy tram tracks. I guess snow plowing methods are a bit different.
