SMART trains are going thru that congested and poorly laid out crossing at 70mph. We are not talking 20mph.
Obviously trains cannot stop on a dime. Buses can stop faster but can easily put standees on the floor or into a seat. Argument of some merit for seat belts on freeway runs and maybe against having standees.
But say there's a truck stalled on Golf Course crossing in RoPo; you wanna go thru at 70 and maybe brake the doodlebug to 60 or go thru at 55 and maybe get it down to 30 with electric light rail?
My goal in lowering speeds is to make SMART less effective and force a redo. Dump the freight; have GGT take it over and start the electrification and building toward Marin City.
