Light Rail Safety talk at ASU – More testing coming soon

June 8, 2008 by Rail Life 4 Comments

At ASU, it is going to be very important to talk about “safety” along and near the lines. Metro is offering a seminar on Friday, June 13th in the ASU Biodesign Institute Auditorium. (click here for ASU Biodesing map) Heres the deal…

Friday, June 13, 2008

Metro Light Rail Safety Brown Bag Seminar

“Safety Around the Tracks”

Location: Biodesign Institute Auditorium

Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:-00 p.m.

“The Metro Light Rail train testing will expand into a zone that includes the tracks that run through campus by the end of June or early July. From then until its opening in December, those adjacent to the line should be expecting a train at any time, from either direction. Bring your lunch and listen to a Metro official explain what to expect and how to stay safe around the tracks.”

Remember students, not only is your life on the line but your wallet is too.. Starting September 1st, you could get nailed for a $150.00 ticket if you cross in the wrong spot.

Don’t forget, Light Rail is soon going to be traveling between the Phoenix and Tempe sites. This should be a huge convenience for many students but it is something that will be new. New, as in, learning curve.. Don’t be a statistic. Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the route, the cars and don’t forget to enjoy the ride come December! Please check back often for more info and details..

    I can’t believe the $150 fine. That’s [b]absolutely ridiculous[/b] if the Light Rail goes anything slower than 100mph, which I’m pretty sure it will, right? Essentially you’ve drawn a huge line in the sand and said, “If you cross this line, you owe me $150. Unless you cross on the spots I say you can.”

    Safety? It’s called look both ways before you cross. No one doesn’t realize it’s dangerous to cross tracks without looking.

    I guess this is how they’re funding the light rail?

    There is a big in your comment system; it says [ b ] syntax is allowed but it fails. I see no bold text.

    The fine sounds a little crazy to us as well.. There have been talks of them “reviewing” the policy. I’ll try to post more if we hear of any changes.
    Thanks.. I’ll try to check out the problem..
