Motorist Safety - Be Aware of Light Rail

• Light rail trains are very quiet, so be sure to look both directions before crossing tracks.
• Trains can come on any track, at any time, from either direction. Never assume you know when and where to expect a train.
• Never try to beat a train through a crossing – it takes the length of two football fields for a train to stop.
• Don't proceed through a gated crossing until the crossing arms are completely up and the warning lights and bells have stopped.   
• Safety only takes a second – light-rail trains move faster than freight trains. If gate arms are going down, stop. The train will clear the intersection in a few seconds.
• Slow down and be alert near rail stations. Watch for pedestrians, trains, buses and cars.
