In Berlin they use a rubber to fill the tracks. The trams are heavy enough to push it down, but it keeps light bicycle wheels from geting stuck.

Surprising. They experimented with similar stuff in Belgium, it didn't work out. The rubber wears out quickly (expensive) and the safety effect appeared very small. Possibly even leading to false feeling of safety, making it more dangerous
