Is L.A.'s New Transit System An Accident Magnet?

"The busway is the only transit system of its kind in the region, designed to operate like light rail but using specially designed buses instead of train cars on its own roadway across the south San Fernando Valley. But the $324-million Orange Line does not employ railroad crossing-style arms or lights to prevent motorists from crossing that roadway while a bus approaches, relying instead on traffic lights and warning signs."

Or as Curbed LA writes, "LAT’s Steve Lopez has even dubbed the transitway the 'Orange Crush'."
