Pippin:
You're not wrong. It's called a grade crossing or an at-grade crossing, meaning it's at the same level as the street and thus a danger to cars and pedestrian traffic. 

I've mostly heard "tramway" used as part of "aerial tramway", which is a tram that runs on suspension cables. There's one in Palm Springs, CA.
