Your comment contradicts itself.

The second sentence is partially true: they do have different modes of operation.

But no, they don’t face entirely the same issues. Trains should hopefully never routinely encounter cars sharing their track and they don’t have to make tight turns to follow existing roadways.

Modern European trams are increasingly grade-separated. See what Marco Chitti has to say about European road design.
