Yep, listening to the LRT scanner they have to report all near misses. All day long multiples times an hour you hear reports of cars cutting off trains with illegal turns.
The LRV drivers have gotten pretty good at anticipating who will make an illegal turn and slowing down well in advance. If they didn't routinely stop while they have a proceed signal we'd have a dozen crashes a day.
You hear the dejection in the voice of the operators/control, "yep, I'm fine, yet another illegal turn" .
