Brightline is upgrading track and signal systems through railroad crossings in Dania and Hollywood in Broward County beginning at 2 a.m., Sunday, August 28 until 2 p.m., Tuesday, August 30. During this work, flaggers will be present at 14 crossings (listed below) and drivers can expect additional wait times. Horns WILL SOUND, even in quiet zones. This includes all trains, Brightline passenger trains and freight trains. This is in adherence to the federal regulation that states train horns must be sounded if workers are present or work is occurring in or near the right of way.
Brightline is reminding the public, pedestrians, motorists and cyclists to make safe choices around trains and crossings, obey all traffic laws around crossings, never stop on the tracks and don’t drive around crossing gates! Remain alert and aware when near railroad tracks and only cross the tracks at a railroad crossing. The safety message is simple: look, listen, live.
