Lake Worth drivers concerned about 6th Avenue south Tri-Rail crossing

Lake Worth drivers concerned about 6th Avenue south Tri-Rail crossing

Residents of Lake Worth are raising concerns over the Tri-Rail crossing at 6th Avenue. WPTV Palm Beach reports that an additional signal delay is causing motorists to take additional risks, despite it being a safety procedure from the rail company itself. The enhanced safety signaling is blamed for causing backups at rush hour, but Tri-Rail has no plans of making a change. Learn more about train accidents here.
