Re: Sacramento Light Rail proves too heavy for this driver.

According the news, the driver went around another car that was stopped at the crossing, then around the lowered gate. And also reported was that there had been a fright train (maybe two) in the crossing prior to the LRT coming along. A witness stated that those gates had malfunctioned a few times in the past and that his son had to lift the gate one time because of this. This was reported at the scene after the accident and I have no idea as to its accuracy.

I think they need quad gates at this site and center dividers about 100 feet either side. Sacramento has a BUNCH of these crossing types and the "open lane" is too much of an invite for some people.
