ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[ijmorlan]

Now if they can just fix it so that the pedestrian crossing of the LRT track only gets a red when the LRT signal is activated by an LRV, not when somebody presses the button to cross King St., then we’ll really have something.

Gee, you know, that seems like it would be a natural place to put a railway crossing arm instead of having a pedestrian signal. Wouldn't that pretty much do what you are suggesting?

Um, yeah, actually I don’t know why that didn’t occur to me. That would make a lot of sense. Although it doesn’t really matter what sort of signal controls pedestrian movement across the tracks, as long as it only goes red in the presence of a train.
