Impact attenuators before platforms stops appear to be deployed based on the speed limit of the adjoining road. Racecourse Road and Flemington Road both have 60 km/h speed limits, and have impact attenuators fitted, while on Abbotsford Street with a 50 km/h limit, only white bollards are provided.

Said bollards have not fared well at the new platform stops at Elizabeth Street!

The lanes along Epsom Road past the racecourse are a tad tight compared to others in the area: just before the Ascot Vale Road roundabout citybound traffic in the lane beside the tram tracks sometimes overhangs the yellow lane, delaying passing trams.

The line marking is a tad ambiguous there: if the start of the right turn lane was a crosshatched island instead of an angled merge, then the slew to the left might become more obvious. Whether all drivers would actually pick up on that is another matter!

Speeding and driver aggression does seem to be an issue there – as you mention, drivers see the road finally open up and put their foot down. Seeing drivers go through the tram stop to the *right* of the barriers would be something to see!
