How should the tram driver behave before leaving the cabin onto the road, beyond the tram stop, to manually set the rail switch?

A tram driver, when leaving the vehicle away from a stop, steps directly onto the carriageway and at that moment becomes a pedestrian. They must therefore first secure the tram against uncontrolled movement, and then exercise particular care and ensure that their entry onto the road does not cause a hazard to themselves or other road users.
