Editing Light rail (section)

===Lower capacity===
The most difficult distinction to draw is that between low-floor light rail and streetcar or tram systems. There is a significant amount of overlap between the technologies; similar rolling stock may be used for either, and it is common to classify streetcars or trams as a subcategory of light rail rather than as a distinct type of transportation. However, some distinctions can be made, though systems may combine elements of both.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Streetcars vs LRT |url=https://www.edmontonstreetcars.ca/streetcarsversuslrt |access-date=22 July 2024 |website=Edmonton Radial Railway Society}}</ref>[[File:DulwichGroveStop.jpg|thumb|The [[Inner West Light Rail]] in [[Sydney]] runs on dedicated tracks, mostly along a former heavy rail corridor.]]Low-floor light rail lines tend to follow a reserved right-of-way and with trains receiving priority at intersections, and tend not to operate in mixed traffic, enabling higher operating speeds.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Light Rail |url=http://www.heritagetrolley.org/defLightRail.htm |access-date=2024-07-22 |publisher=Seashore Trolley Museum}}</ref> Light rail lines tend to have less frequent stops than tramways, and operate over a longer distance.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Walker |first=Jarrett |date=2010-03-26 |title=Streetcars vs Light Rail ...
