METRO gives drivers the green light to hit the Danger Train

Laurence Simon posts about his experience at a METRO light rail crossing today -- he literally watched the traffic lights go green while the train was in the intersection.

I saw the same thing happen earlier this week at Main and Elgin (noted as an update to this post).

It is true, as Laurence points out, that only a complete moron would hit the gas on green (without looking) at any intersection in Houston, let alone a Danger Train intersection. Still, as METRO seriously contemplates the insanity of laying a rail line down the middle of yet another heavily-trafficked street (Richmond), it might be nice if they could actually get the traffic lights working properly on their current experiment in dangerous transit.
