Operation Lifesaver's where I got the "look and listen" bit from, so I get it.
That being said, I know of many machines that have no respect for me. Most of them are called automobiles, and they are far more likely to kill me than a train.
But now I find myself moving from talking about the world that exists to talking about a sensible place.
Waterloo St must be blockaded because our own laws and regs say so. That they don't make sense and are disproportionate in this or all situations is irrelevant. That they might only have to because of a sloppily-worded definition ("“road” means any way or course, whether public or not, available for vehicular or pedestrian use;" - Railway Safety Act - R.S.C., 1985, c. 32 (4th Supp.) (Section 4) ) is also irrelevant.
It sucks, and we have every right to complain about it and imagine a world that makes sense. But that doesn't help the NW-SE flow of pedestrians and cyclists in Kitchener.
Does anyone have an idea that _could_ help these people?
