Speaking of signals, here's a great video from Gold Coast, Australia showing how signal priority works on their system, called G:Link.
Note that in some cases, the tram signals actually hold a train back, for schedule adherence.
(This system runs 7-module Bombardier FLEXITY 2 LRV's, if you were wondering. They had problem with noise in the curves (no track lubricators) and I suspect that's why our system got them from the get-go - some of the same system partners that built that line are involved in ours. Lessons learned!)
