Should the tram driver "park" the tram prior to manual positioning of the rail switch?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Leaving the cabin requires the tram driver to first immobilise the tram, which is colloquially referred to as 'parking' it. This is a fundamental safety principle aimed at preventing the vehicle from moving off on its own and creating a hazard in road traffic in the driver's absence.
