Maybe all the really stoopid people will be hit this year, then the accidents will become less frequent.

Not likely. The current segment is in the Medical Center of Houston, a magnet to patients seeking treatment from around the world, not just America. It was a dangerous place to drive for native Houstonians before the train was put down in the middle of the street.

People are constantly looking for addresses, buildings, and parking garages. Add unfamiliar warning lights, a train that runs silently and unexpectedly, and there's not much optimism that the accident rate will drop a whole lot in future years.

Don't forget the fact that the train shares a lane with left turners.
