However, there is no good solution for this, other than grade separation of the tracks. This is far too busy an intersection to have an at grade crossing. The best solution would be to underground the train going under the lagoon (allowing the water to flow - building a new bridge to go over the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498088266607942041.post-60435432731176443512015-08-31T16:55:59.146-07:002015-08-31T16:55:59.146-07:00I live up the hill on Birmingham since 1983. Even ...I live up the hill on Birmingham since 1983. Even then, this intersection was dangerous, in my opinion. People are turning right onto Chesterfield from PCH, and keep going even after the light on Chesterfield turns red. This then backs up the cars using the left hand turn lane from PCH onto Cherfield. Added to this are pedestrians who often take their sweet time crossing the street.

All intersections are dangerous and where most accidents happen, but maybe four way stop signs would work better here? A roundabout would not unless they buried the train. This is exactly the kind of intersection the US Dept of Transportation discourages putting roundabouts at.

Pretty straightforward failure to yield accident. The city recently received a grant to upgrade the crossing and whole intersection but this could happen anywhere that doesn't have left-turn only arrows.
