I'd be happy if you could see on the tracks which way the closest station was, so if you popped out at Union, you'd know whether to go to Allen or GRH. Or, you know, just some colour, let alone warning to drivers to never stop and/or park on rails.
Standard paint would probably be sufficient. The "melt-in" elements are used because they're durable, and can survive the wear of cars driving over them. Hopefully that isn't a big issue on the LRT ROW.
Giving distance to the next station would be interesting though.
I do worry though, too much paint and colour can begin to look tacky sometimes.
