Full fencing of the ROW plus 4-quadrant gates at each crossing. This should be paid for by the state DOT, not the railroad. Not sure why Brightline should be responsible for a driver intentionally going around the gate. The pedestrian fatalities are more unclear, it doesn't say whether this happened at a crossing or whether the pedestrians were trespassing at an illegal location.

The first of the latest spate happened Dec. 7, when a pedestrian was struck in North Miami Beach. Four days later, a pedestrian was struck in Hollywood. On Dec. 30, a 68-year-old driver and his 58-year-old sister died when he drove around warning gates into the path of a Brightline train.
