The tram is open – watch out for this heavy-duty addition to our cityscape!

The tram is now running between the central station in Aarhus and Aarhus University Hospital in Skejby. The tram has two stops at Aarhus University - on Nørrebrogade east of the University Park and in the intersection between Nordre Ringgade and Randersvej.

Watch out near the new tram

As the tram is a completely new addition to the Aarhusian cityscape and roads, we must all pay extra attention near the tracks and stops.

Despite its name, Letbanen, the tram is heavy and will be running side by side with pedestrians, cyclists and cars. Please note that the tram is very quiet, cannot steer out of the way or change direction, is wider than you may think and has a very long stopping distance.

For this reason, Aarhus Letbane has launched a safety campaign. The campaign material has been posted on notice boards around the university and explains how the tram is different from the traffic that we are used to.

So please pay particular attention and follow the traffic rules to avoid any accidents.

Enjoy your trip to Aarhus University with the new tram.
