If overhead was cheaper than 3rd rail it would have been installed... and then there would be trucks occasionally brushing the 12K or 25K overhead wire...You may as well station snipers at railroad crossings, to, err, kinetically educate anyone who blocks the box or beats the gates. That won't prevent every crash, but it will sharply reduce the number of remaining motorists who play such games. /s You can't prevent all accidents, especially when the general public with no real qualifications is allowed to operate motor vehicles. |
