Light rail is so dumb, hogging the center
Posted on Thu, 2009-01-15 22:27If roads were striped for the through traffic to go down the center of the road with left turns from the lane to the immediate right of the through traffic lane you would say this was inviting crashes. When you are turning left you expect someone going straight through to be on your right, not coming up on your left. Yet that's exactly what street-running light rail cars and trolleys do.
They hog the center and cut across left turners.
