ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

In cases where a right-on-red might result in a collision, they have the big black box that illuminates to indicate you should not turn.

The "chicane" spots where the tracks ease from centre-running to outboard-running (or vice-versa) are the worst.  Here's the technique I use:



I find 30 degrees is all you really need, if you hold the handlebars firmly - but obviously, as perpendicular as possible is better.  I've actually had far worse experiences cycling at non-perpendicular angles over concrete/pavement transitions (i.e. Road > MUT interfaces) than I have with tracks!
