Last year NMRX had to flag all the crossings in Santa Fe after 2 fatal bicycle accidents at the “mothballed”
Zia Road station,till all the crossings in city limits were upgraded.
However,they used orange vests,hard hats,and red flags.

In reply to Harrison, "Islanderh93" Balduf. You mean the video footage? The dancing figure was on a green screen, so the background was easy to remove and superimpose on a legit video I had filmed at that grade crossing.

In reply to magnus. Alright, focused on the crossings would be more apt.

“This morning Metro-North announced a new plan to get peopleâ€™s eyes on grade crossings â€“ literally.”

Wow, MN wants to gouge out peoples eyes and place them on the crossing?

This would still be cheaper than installing high-security steel barriers at grade crossings!
