Good instincts from the driver here to keep distance between themself and every car getting in front. Could tell they were playing with fire.

I’ve lived in a few cities with trams and light rail and you just treat them like you would cars. If you’re ever crossing the road anywhere, pay attention. Not every crossing is going to have lights or barriers or anything else. Somehow 99.999% of people are able to navigate this without incident. Takes a second to look both ways and figure out if several tons of vehicle are flying towards you before you step in their way
Also while cars in the road could be moving in almost any direction, things on rails tend to only move in one of two possible directions outside of very exceptional circumstances, making it much easier to determine when you are at risk from one and where they might be coming from.

You have lights for every pedestrian crossing where you're at? That sounds strangely expensive

It's called living in a city with adequate infrastructure, which can definitely be considered a luxury.

Does not require preheating

Antwerp's Opera square, actually

One of the stations:




The Crosssing:



The crossing is in all 4 cardinal directions that double tram rails run, and its all on the same grade and area as the pedestrian walking area. There is like one warning "sound", which is a woman in dutch saying "Opgepast: Tram" at a volume drowned out by traffic. I'm honestly surprised not more people end up under em.

I'm just picturing what happens when people of significantly different mass run at each other holding those big inflatable exercise balls, but with one side having even more mass.

I approve this plan.

I once went to a lake with some friends and had a great time. We kayaked on the otherwise empty lake with nothing but the sound of gentle lapping of waves. Spent all day there dicking around and doing whatever we wanted. It started getting into evening and another group arrived at the lake. My friend said “I know who that is. He was the biggest douchebag in my high school and always creeped on every girl” which wasn’t a surprise as the lake was butted up to the tiny town my friend is originally from and everyone knows everyone.

We kept some space between our party and theirs but eventually he got rowdy enough to start driving his lifted bro tank over the sand, splashing water and hooting and hollering and being wreckless.

We got to lay our beach towels down on the sand about fifty yards away and drink beers and watch his truck slowly sink into a lake as he yelled his voice away for two hours blaming everyone but himself and pleading that he had to be at work 2 hours away in the morning. Then we put out our fire and left for the city.
