RMweb Premium melmerby Posted August 16, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 16, 2018 Gordon, here in The States, the freight and commuter(heavy rail) trains do not have to stop at the traffic signals(stoplights) or stop signs. Light rail trains do not have to stop at the stop signs, but they must obey the traffic signals(e.g.- in Los Angeles). Wendell Idaho, USA Probably similar to the UK Light Rail trains (Trams to us) have their own aspects on traffic signals, so they can integrate with the regular traffic. These are the signs we may see: https://www.theukrules.co.uk/rules/driving/highway-code/tram-signs.html Note trams have Km/h speed limits, all other road users observe mph!

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted August 17, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17, 2018 Nice historic pictures of Syracuse and New York City. Wendell Idaho, USA That one of 11th Ave. is so atmospheric with all the shop fronts with goods on show. It's worth looking through the cityscapes to see what it was like, years gone by. OT there is a record store on one page with all the latest Victor record releases showcased and an absolute plethora of "Nippers" (His Master's Voice) Keith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 You don't get many cyclists there then? I don't know for sure because I have never been to that part of Minnesota. From the looks of these pictures, a bicyclist still has enough room to ride between the parked vehicles and the railroad track(even with a car driving by).
