Because some cretin will park a van in the road, just where the tram can't
quite get round it.

Quite the opposite in fact. From years of experience of living in
Melbourne people don't park infront of trams becuase they know the
tram will not be able to pass and irrate drivers will be stuck behind.

People who park in bus lanes and bus stops do so because the bus *can*
pass - therefore they consider this selfishness less of an
inconvenience.
