   Note that may be a convention rather than a legal requirement; for   
   instance, in Texas, the legal definition of a "motor vehicle" excludes   
   any vehicle which operates on "fixed tracks".  A streetcar is a "train"   
   and therefore not required to have turn signals and such, even if it   
   happens to be operating in the middle of a street.  OTOH, streetcar   
   operators often put such devices on their vehicles anyway to reduce   
   accidents.
