“Houston- We Have a Problem”-with Light Rail
Houston’s “Wham-Bam Tram” strikes again!
Responsible Transportation Forum has posted previously regarding serious safety issues with light rail lines in other cities. Houston is one of the most notorious systems, with incident after incident documenting crashes between the light rail trains and cars, or the trains and pedestrians.
See the video from Honolulu Traffic- the video speaks for itself!
“And now from Houston “Metros Greatest Hits”:
Houston’s light rail is unofficially known as the Wham-Bam Tram. With more collisions than any other light rail line, you might say that it really got its name by accident. One accident after another. You’ll enjoy this video.”

Nice job RTF; btw, WSDOT finally replied to Fred Jarrett’s sincere attempt last yr to legislate real noise mitigation by lowering the maximum threshold levels from current 1967 FHWA standards of 66-67 dBA by 4 dBA regulating WSDOT in the EIS process (HB 2307). WSDOT’s response discussed policies of visual screening and why they would not use rubberized asphalt etc. in my opinion, their reponse was, at best, a disingenous attempt to brush off this initiative.
