<p>I’m guessing you’re not from Melbourne?<p>“Tramways” are a specific type of road dedicated for trams, separated by dividers. “Tram lanes” are regular roads with tracks that are for exclusive use by trams, usually for part of the day and shared with cars for the rest.<p>The majority of the tram network is on roads shared with regular vehicle traffic (ie. neither a tramway nor a tram lane).<p>When trams are moving on shared roads they have no right of way special to them EXCEPT at roundabouts.<p>(I also know a PTV tram operator who lost their job for rear ending a car that suddenly stopped to turn right)</p>

<p>> At least that's how it always in American English<p>You already found the answer.<p>To me, all of ()[]{} (and depending on context <>) are “brackets” in the sense that they bracket whatever is between them. Then a brace is a single side of a bracket (ie. opening brace plus closing brace make a bracket).<p>So to distinguish between the different brackets/braces you use “round”, “square”, “curly” or “angled” respectively. And “round” is the default so you often skip specifying that.<p>That’s been the convention in programming and maths everywhere I’ve worked outside America (in English).</p>

Melbourne is urban sprawl. The metro area is 50 miles east to west, 30 miles north to south (more, but there's also a big bay) and a population of only 5 million. A lower population density than the Denver MSA but manages to run a train/bus/tram system that's useful, reliable and safe.</p>
