I'd say more detailed mapping. Looking at the picture I think it's
obvious that Duboce Avenue should be mapped as two separate highways,
placed on each side of the railways.
The photo misleads because the boarding islands make it look like there
is a separation between the railway and the roadway. In practice this is
only true next to the boarding islands; almost all of the tracking in
this area runs on lanes that are also open to traffic, shaped like this:
| | | | |
| | | /|\ | /|\ |
| | | | | | |
| Autos | Autos+Trams | Autos+Trams | Autos |
| | | | | | |
| \|/ | \|/ | | |
| | | | |
For much of the journey of these trams there is only a strip of paint
separating these lanes, not any physical barrier.
It seems weird to treat this like a separated highway when there is
actually no separation... drivers are free to switch lanes, make
u-turns, make left turns into side streets from the Autos+Trams lane,
etc at any point along the road.
