Is that really expensive? It seems a quad gate would definetly reduce the collisions. When doing public policy you need to care about this, even if it’s utterly stupidity, safety measures are also designed to deal with human stupidity (SPECIALLY with driving rules). This is not only for to the lives you would save from the people committing the stupidity, but also those affected by this. I bet people inside the train can and will get injured with these collisions, plus the costs to repair the trains, delay the operations, etc, there is a lot of issues resulting from not mitigating human stupidity.

I believe all the crossings are quad gates here in S. Florida. Haven't been on the Orlando route yet, so have yet to see what going on with that section, but yes, they should at least have them.
