ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(08-31-2018, 04:40 PM)UrbanCanoe Wrote: I saw a car nearly get t-boned by an LRV this morning. Both were stopped at the intersection of King & William (northbound). When the light turned green the car turned right onto William Street, directly in front of the LRV which was proceeding through the intersection. Wow the LRV's horn is loud!!

I wonder if the car was making a right turn on red while the train had its vertical bar, and where the stop bar for the car is painted relative to where the train was stopped?  Ideally the train would start out from within the average driver's peripheral vision.

Still, the 'No Right, Train' signs would be lit if the train had triggered it's vertica bar.  That's driver inattention whether the train is in their peripheral vision or not...
