- Mesa PD said the crash between a light rail train and a garbage truck on Wednesday was caused by the light rail operator running its version of a red light.
Hope this doesn’t discourage people from the light rail. So many people use it!!
Lived here for 30 years, never been on it. It's on my bucket list of things to do eventually.
so that business owner is scared of Trains being operated by humans but not dump trucks being operated by humans? nice 1 sided reporting there. why not show whether crash statistics back up the fear of trains running "red lights"? no mention of the automated train that we have at the airport? no mention of the complexity of automating a train that interacts with traffic and pedestrians? also, please get the traffic engineer that you interviewed a better microphone lol.
I was thinking exactly that.
As William H Vanderbilt supposedly once said: “ The public be [ BLANK ] ! “
People need to think more carefully not one sided.
Seriously underrated comment. These same people are afraid of autonomous vehicles even though Waymo has a safe driving record exponentially better than humans.
Its scary to have one human operator on a light car?
Bro, that cars as a whole though...
Wtf is this -_-
exactly. i think the point he was making is making them automated, i don't know if there's many systems if any that are like that in the world, you need a human driver for this type of system.
@@Roadrunnerz45there are many automated transit systems in the world and even one in Phoenix. The SkyTrain is fully automated.
Sure but not light rail. Where there are conflicts and variable human behaviour that a machine wouldn't be able to predict. It's fine on dedicated track like your example and others. @@danieldaniels7571
May the garbage truck driver recover quickly and be healthy again!
The entire traffic system should be automated
It is but all the cities in the Valley only have the traffic signals programmed to run one schedule no matter what time of day it is. This is why in low traffic or nighttime traffic the light randomly turns red with no cross traffic. Or the light is running the entire duration of the cycle. Making you wait for the non-existent pedestrians.
@@garcjr out in Peoria, some light change between daytime and nighttime. On Thunderbird Rd in Peoria, from 83rd Ave to 91st Ave, pedestrians have a guaranteed walk signal going along Thunderbird, but only during the daytime. At night, they have to press call buttons to get a walk signal.
Did the operator have a stroke or a cardiac event from the jab?
Fake news. Light rail operators don’t have red lights. They have white lights with little white lines on them.
It's 2024, and we don't even have updated traffic lights yet. I still have to sit at a 2 minute red light while absolutely no one goes through the green.
Those lights are used for traffic control. Go ahead. Treat it as a 4way stop. No cross traffic? GO!
@80sCrazyCatDadNGunAddiction that's not how that works.
@@jerbwoodsadly to many drivers think that’s okay. Do you have the option of right on red there?
@danieldaniels7571 yes, we can turn right on red unless there's signage saying otherwise. You can even turn left on red as long as it's a one-way street onto another one-way street. But you definitely can't cross an intersection on red, no matter what.
@@jerbwood so is there a sign saying otherwise at the red light you’re complaining about
😂😂😂
Sorry ? ROBSUN ? Could he have a meant DOBSON ?
The train passes through Dobson Rd and another road in downtown Mesa called Robson Rd. The crash happened at Robson.
In fact they had us get off at Dobson to transfer to a bus because of this incident.
Nope. Robson. Tell me you don’t know Mesa without telling me you don’t know Mesa.
