ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

That is weird … it’s like they don’t think at all about desire lines and where you need to strongly guide people and where you just need to keep toddlers from running into a dangerous situation. I can think of a lot of sidewalks running along roads that need fences separating them from roads before any sort of fence is needed to separate pedestrians from a track carrying just LRVs travelling slowly as they exit the station with nothing on the other side of the track.

The vehicle closest to the fence line will be slowly accelerating out of the station, the vehicle on the farther track will be decelerating into it, and still carrying a lot of speed/energy into any potential pedestrian collision beyond the station platform area.
