[quote user="Murphy Siding"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Bucyrus:</div> <div></div> <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> zugmann:</div> <div></div> <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Bucyrus:</div> <div></div> The FRA wants medians in to prevent drivers from trying to beat the train in exchange for eliminating the horn blowing.  Yet horn blowing does nothing to prevent drivers from trying to beat the train.  So what is the point of requiring medians in exchange for no horn blowing?    What horn blowing does is wake up drivers who are sleeping, impaired, or distracted, and who are about to drive through the lowered gate and past the flashing lights because they are not aware of them.  Yet adding medians does nothing to help with this problem.    <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote>   Again - source, or is this just your opinion? <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote> The first sentence about trading horn blowing for medians or similar means to prevent running around the gate is in the link posted above by Greyhounds.  It is the basic rationale for quiet zones, and detailed in many references to them.   The source for the rest is just common sense.  What can the horn do to save somebody who wants to run around the gate?  What can medians do to prevent people from falling asleep, passing out, or not paying attention?    <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote>       I don't know if you're being fair with your arguments.  When promoting your thoughts,  it's called common sense.  Yet when someone else calls their thoughts common sense,  you seem to suggest that they need to provide you with 100% peer reviewed, irrefutable, scientific data,  complete with footnotes, and mathmatical backup carried out to the 4th digit.  .......Of course, this is just my opinion and common sense.  <img src="/TRCCS/emoticons/icon_smile_whistling.gif" alt="Whistling" /> <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] I don’t get your comment.  How am I being unfair with my arguments?  I am the one citing common sense as a source.  I am certainly not calling for peer reviewed, irrefutable, scientific data complete with footnotes, and mathematical backup carried to the 4th digit, as you say.  If I seem to be suggesting that, I don’t know what you are reading.  Where have I suggested that?  If anything, it is zugmann who is suggesting that.  He is the one who wants source citations.      Please clarify how I am being unfair with my arguments, as you say.
