It seems rather dangerous to put the beg buttons on the other side of the tracks. Apparently you still get a walk signal if someone on the other side of the road has pressed the button, which means pedestrians can cross the intersection on a walk signal and still be struck by a train if they don't check before crossing the tracks first.

This came up on Reddit today, over two years later. It seems to just be a matter of time before someone is hit by the train here.

Someone will need to be killed first before changes are made. That’s the way government works.
Rather than proactive, it’s reactive.
