It reduces conflicts at merges and at grade crossings. The grade crossings north of 135th st on Lenox Ave or Myrtle and Bway BklynA grade crossing like 135th & Lenox does not require CBTC. It should not reduce capacity. All that is required is that north and southbound trains for the same branch are scheduled to approach the grade crossing at the same time. |
