Once the train has cleared the intersection and is either heading back down the spur or down Northfeild, once the crossing lights turn off and the gates come up, the pedestrian crossing lights remain red for a few seconds longer. Each and every-time, at least a dozen or so vehicles proceed through the red light before it turns green. This only affects the north/eastbound side of Northfeild.
Since the red light is only activated in addition to the crossing signals i.e. not a pedestrian crossing as the south/westbound side of Northfeild is still flowing, would a timing adjustment make sense here? Drivers are clearly only focusing on the gates coming up and not seeing that the traffic light is still red...
EDIT: This happened this morning therefore yes, ION is testing today
Even better, train gates at all ped crossings
You're right, it totally makes sense to sync them up.
