This intersection is DANGEROUS! | 🚊 HTM Line 16-15 | 🇳🇱 The Hague | 4K Tram Cabview | Siemens Avenio

[@Galastin]

What amazes me is how seamless the traffic priority and signaling works, and how the people on the road generally seem to be respectful of the tram

[@Giuseppe_De_Bellis]

tram is big and heavy.. 😊

[@xX3essoXx]

You should do more "preparing a tram for line" videos they are really interesting to see how a tram starts the shift.

[@xX3essoXx]

It was a suggestion@@RetroJack

[@Papas_YouTube]

I agree. And show how it’s operated. What is the switch on the left you flip at certain intersections?

[@cdarting91]

Not sure why I find videos like this so entertaining???

[@Desuk1991]

Die audi op dat punt van de "Hildebrandstraat/Neherkade" drukt gewoon door. Veel zal hij er niet mee opschieten. Wel weer leuk om te zien van mijn oude buurtje ( Oudemansstraat )

[@FredricFranc]

Fantastisch om dit te kunnen zien. Vroegâh, woonde ik in 't Haagje, zeg maar, Gouverneurlaan. Laakkwartier. Dus deze video doet het hart weer wat sneller slaan. Maar Den Haag is in de 45 jaar dat ik er nu weg ben ontzettend veranderd, dus naast de vreugde ook een traantje om "mijn Den Haag" dat voor een groot deel niet meer bestaat . . .

[@transportspotterraphael]

I thought people were taught to not sit on rail tracks and intersections in general during their driving instruction. Seems like a few have forgotten. Great content as always, looks like Avenios are a lot of fun to drive, I'd almost want to learn Dutch just to drive these 😅

[@JoshuaHere]

It's definitely not allowed but drivers are basically able to do anything they desire once they get their license except severe traffic violations. Because there's not a lot of enforcement and the fines aren't extreme either, people guess on the fact that they won't get caught.

[@CorvusCorvidae777]

Sure, they are taught that but most drivers dgaf and do as they please once they have their license.

Hello from an American subscriber! Very interesting to see the cab controls. I have a few questions... 1. Do you accelerate and brake with foot pedals? 2. How do you know the speed limit for the section you are in? 3. Are switch settings decided by a central control system through an on-board transponder?Or do you request a direction? Bedankt!

[@TramMeneer]

Thank you for your comment and support! To answer your questions: 1. Yes! The Avenio has foot controls. 2. The speed limit is 50 km/h everywhere, but we have limits of 15 km/h on switches and 25 km/h at platforms and intersections. The speed with which we drive through curves is dependent on our own judgement. 3. We have a transponder on board which communicates with the switch installation as we approach it. Hope I have answered your questions!

[@plangineer1375]

@@TramMeneer Yes, you did. Much appreciated! 🙂

[@joshkeeling5333]

Agreed, I work with the trams in Sheffield, UK so foot controls are new to me also! Can I ask why some of the tram signals flash on proceed and some stay permanently lit? Ours are 5 dots but always lit either straight up or straight across (for stop) and all white no red. 🙂

[@MrATimm]

@@joshkeeling5333Flashing lights means that the permission to proceed is not exclusive, meaning there is still the possibility of crossing traffic

Another tram driver in The Hague has posted many videos over several years, so I find these neighborhoods familiar. Your camera is positioned differently, so we get a different view!

[@robertball2741]

What are the two buttons on a flat panel to your left, with what looks like a lever switch as well. I notice you pressing one of the buttons (right hand one) quite often. Is it some kind of "dead man's handle" that you have to acknowledge frequently to allow the tram to keep moving?

[@IgnoreMyChan]

The buttons do from left to right: - The lever: Indicator. You'll hear beeps when it's active and you can see the indicators blinking in the mirror monitors - The left yellow button is the 'regular' horn. You see him use it for the for the ** audi at 3:20 - The right yellow button is the 'bell' that he sounds regularly to alert traffic and pedestrians of his present.

Hi! Toffe cabviews! Is er ergens een video die het hele dashboard laat zien? Heb de uitleg hier al gelezen over de knoppen onder de linkerhand. Maar ook benieuwd wat er met de andere knoppen wordt bediend. Ik zag redelijk in het begin bij een langere instap bijvoorbeeld een bediening op het scherm. Dus erg nieuwsgierig wat alles doet!

[@TramMeneer]

Bedankt voor de comment! Ik zal binnenkort eens een videotour maken van de cabine en het bedieningspaneel.

Da's een bekende stem van de CVL. Die werkt er dus ook nog steeds.

[@tonybrewer9760]

Interesting "tram gates" that swing open. Are they to stop motorists driving on tram-only sections? Do the gates open and close automatically?

[@TramMeneer]

Yes indeed, it is to prevent cars from entering part of the city center. Only with a permit it is allowed to enter. For the trams they indeed open and close automatically.

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Very nice video, likes from me!

[@hansh5491]

[@human721]

Why do you press the bell before every intersection? It is not done in my country and seemed very unique to you

[@TramMeneer]

We are taught to use the bell to make people around us aware of the presence of the tram. Nowadays, there is many drivers who show unexpected behavior or go through a red light for example. Using the bell is just a safety mechanism to warn people. Rather more than less in my opinion...

[@stefanserenno9365]

​@@TramMeneer ich muss sagen, wäre ich ein Fahrgast, würde es mich irgendwann nerven, dauerhaft diese Klingel zu hören. Sollte man das System in Berlin übernehmen, müsste man ja dauerhaft die Klingel am Alexanderplatz hören. Denn tagsüber ist da ein 2min Takt je Richtung von 4 verschiedenen Linien. Also da würden sich bei uns einige beschweren. Gerade auch was so das Kreuzen mit den Autos angeht. Das ist daher bei den Autofahrern eher egal.

[@ffortissimo]

Het zou mooi zijn als je op de monitoren 'zijspiegels' langs de hele zijkant en achter de tram kon kijken.

[@jkwrplayz]

i think that there should be a government rule in all countries that a tram goes first, that they should not have to use their emergency brake or normal brake on pedestrians and vehicles, in Prague, the cars dont give a shit about the trams, they just drive right through them. There has been a lot of crashes and near misses with cars and trams in Prague, and i like that The Hague has their trams going next to the cars mostly on the routes.

I know you’re frustrations I have to deal with idiots on the road all the time they have no clue how to drive safely

[@binh5948]

Is the tram operated with foot pedals?

[@Jules_Diplopia]

OK, I have questions. Do you have to wave to every other tram, or are you just that nice a guy? How do you stop at the right place each time, because 90% of the time you all stop perfectly by the marker for me to get on with a wheelchair. And switching from 16-15, is that automatic? Oh and do be careful with all that pushing buttons with your index finger you could get RSI of the finger. Thanks, for the videos, and for the safe journeys.

[@evilborg]

1. Every country I have been to all public transport drivers wave to each other... no idea when this started 2. There are markers and side cameras that show the drivers where to stop... markers are different in each country/city 3. Likely automatic

[@bluegaming2746]

The waving is kind of an unwritten rule everyone follows.

[@TramMeneer]

Most of your questions were already answered by @evilborg. As drivers, we don't see each other so much during the day. At least by waving to each other, we have some interaction 😉 Switching from 16 to 15 and vice versa is done automatically!

[@horugeru7779]

@@TramMeneer Why is this line divided at all? One merges seamlessly into the other; it could just be one line.

[@matteolatorre2205]

How do you make the vehicle accelerate and brake?

[@IgnoreMyChan]

With foot pedels like in a normal car. The Den Haag trams are kinda unique in that, I believe. Others use hand controls.

[@IgnoreMyChan]

Ik mis altijd wel de 'echte' belletjes. Die hippe electronische geluidjes vind ik toch zonde. Ik snap het wel, hoor, veel minder onderhoudsgevoelig, maar toch jammer dat het ook echt synthetisch klinkt.

Well now, that's what you call a nice clean proper tram, nice and slim, easy access, quick, quiet, smooth lines, no hold ups or delays. The Dutch just do everything right. Over here in Britain we couldn't lay 2 sticks flat in the road without it costing billions, take a decade to do it then be late in planning, have the Chinese build the dam tram without a clue where the tram and the type of streets or environment it's for, go now where it's needed, have the political parties argue who should take responsibility, try claiming the awards, the fight against each other when it all goes tits up because they pointed the dam sticks rhe wrong way, and finally blame everyone on benefits because there's no jobs in manufacturing in this country anymore only dam gready banks
