tram track

Urban rail path

Tram tracks are the metal rails embedded in streets that guide trams or streetcars.

The parallel grooves they create can catch bicycle wheels and cause falls—a hazard cyclists learn to cross at an angle.

In hairstyling, tram tracks are the visible lines left by overly uniform highlights or poorly blended color sections.
