Busses should have almost new, quality, all weather tires so rain isn't a problem (do they?). Everyone needs to pay attention when around heavy machinery whether operating or in its path. Horns seem like a pretty good idea. Or other noises. People who live on bus routes should vote on noises they like. Loud blaring horns for every turn, piercing whistles, maybe even a loud clap.

Anything involving "the city" under it's current lack of leadership isn't going to go anywhere. They don't think transit is any part of their jurisdiction!

Strobes, sirens, audible warnings, horns... they'll all eventually become part of general noise pollution, just like the crummy automated voice TriMet uses for automated stop announcements that slurs everything together and pronounces some things incorrectly (i.e., "lienfourteehawthorntoportland"), meaning that they'll just drown out into the background like everything else does eventually. It's rather amazing when the automated announcements go two or three times, while people are walking on with their "smart" (dumb?) phone in one hand, still held up to their ear with conversation still going, asking the bus operator what bus they're boarding, and/or if the bus marked "to St. Johns" goes to Gresham Transit Center first. The *really* sad part is I know people will think I'm making this stuff up!

And, what are people who are sensitive to blinking lights and/or horns going to do? Especially if the audio/visual seizure display is visible everywhere, including inside where they live?

How about just enforcing the laws of the road? I've yet to see a driver of the 45 follow the limit going down Beaverton-Hillsdale highway. Tis a matter of time before a bus goes over the side of a cliff as it merges with Barbur.
