This is NOT at all a gross exaggeration! I've actually witnessed this a bunch of times and it actually freaks me out! My guess is you haven't spent as much time using Hiawatha as much as those of us who live over here. I've timed it sometimes that I've sat at stop lights for up to 10 minutes.

This is a gross exaggeration. The E-W lights are _not_ green when the crossing lights begin flashing. If the E-W lights just changed red as a train approaches, there is a short period when traffic is stopped in all directions.

Oh man oh man - I live over here too and it's driving me (no pun intended) and everyone I know around here crazy!!! Ugh. I talked to someone at the LRT booth at the state fair and they basically said this hand doesn't directly talk to that hand and as much as they've tried they are now calling in the feds to figure out this mess. Now it makes sense to me why the lights going east-west are still green when the trains are coming and the RRXing lights start flashing and the poles are coming down. Talk about a disaster in the making...
