General Road and Highway Discussion

[Markster]

From my understanding of the concept, if the daily number of trains passing through the intersection multiplied by the daily number of vehicles passing through the intersection exceeds a threshold of 200,000 consideration should be given to change the intersection to an overpass/underpass due to excessive risk of potential collisions.

For a point of comparison, Toronto has several that are pushing 1,000,000.

Strachan Ave, just to the west of Union Station, was several million, prior to its eventual grade separation last year.


(Unrelated, I found a pretty cool, very detailed analysis from 2011 of what needs to be done to run more service on the Stoville Line: http://www.gotransit.com/public/en/impro...dix_A1.pdf )
