What a waste of money. Why don't they put the dollars towards separated crossings and make it start ASAP?

How about revamping driver education so people follow traffic laws. Coddling the drivers who can’t follow simple traffic laws seems to be the cause of people stopping on tracks. — IMO

@Shelly Kay

Just look at Palo Alto and how easily that's gone.

Waste of moneys.

Even a blind, disabled and mentally challenged person would recognize the railroad crossings as they are now.

The pedestrians/cars who get struck are physically healthy subjects in every case who make deliberate illegal decisions.

Why do we have to pay for the transgressions of those who deliberately chose to ignore the rules of co-existence?

Why do we not spend that money on enforcing the existing laws?

Why do we keep pandering to those who push/ignore the rules of co-existence?

Is that where we are heading as a society?
