I have to agree that you can only go so far in legislating, and planning, to protect the stupid from their own stupidity. A safe society is a good and desirable thing, but so is common sense. Politicians and lawyers can make careers (and fortunes) out of drafting new legislation to make it even clearer and more exact (for which read more complicated and expensive) but I was simply brought up to read and respect 'NO TRESPASSING', 'DO NOT CROSS WHEN LIGHTS SHOW' and other such signs. Maybe illiteracy is the real issue but at the end of the day people who walk or drive in front of trains simply deserve to be cited for Darwin awards. To quote a writer some time ago "stupidity is the only capital offence". I'm a UK rail passenger, not a member of the rail industry, but I know rail travel is much safer than road travel and frankly wish I could travel more places by train. Unfortunately the road lobby here (and probably in the US) has far more influence that the rail industry, so as usual the rail industry loses out.
