Opa-Locka's upcoming Vision Zero Action Plan focuses on improving railroad safety. Key messages being considered include "Stop, Look, Listen: Stay Safe at Railroad Crossings" and "Never Race a Train: It's Better to Wait." Recommendations under discussion range from improving signage to starting safety education programs. While still in development, these ideas show the city's commitment to preventing accidents at railroad crossings and keeping residents safe.
Opa-Locka is working on a new Vision Zero Action Plan to make our city safer. One key area being looked at is railroad safety. Here are some ideas being considered:
"Stop, Look, Listen: Stay Safe at Railroad Crossings" might become a main message.

This simple reminder could help everyone stay safe:

Stop before crossing tracks
Look both ways for trains
Listen for warning sounds

Another possible message is “Never Race a Train: It’s Better to Wait.” This highlights how dangerous it is to try beating a train.

Some recommendations being discussed include:

– Improving signs at railroad crossings
– Starting safety education programs
– Asking police to watch problem areas more closely
– Making crossings safer for walkers and bikers

The goal of these ideas is to prevent accidents at railroad crossings. While the plan is still being developed, these suggestions show how Opa-Locka is thinking about keeping residents safe.

As the city works on this plan, they may ask for input from residents. Sharing your thoughts could help make the final plan even better for our community. Remember, these are just recommendations for now. The city will decide which ideas to include in the final Vision Zero Action Plan.
