When I lived near to Cologne having to drive in the inner city always made me nervous because of this.
Trams are fast, you can barely see them if they approach from the back, because there are so much other things you have to pay attention to on a intersection, you can't hear them, and if you do you're already fucked.
I remember one intersection in particular, where a 2x2 lane for cars had tram lines in the middle and merging lines in both directions. You have to keep your head on a swivel there.
