Transit infrastructure costs what paint does

This is obviously an overstatement; trains and traffic lights and employees and all the rest cost a significant amount of money. But it is to suggest that smart decisions of flow-management and easy fixes to an otherwise messy situation are cheap, and can be bought right around the corner.

I was biking to the train station today to see my brother off to college (Haha!), and given that the entire train station is being rebuilt and Utrecht acts as the transit hub for the rest of the country, there are construction projects going on all along the rail corridor.

Here's an area just southeast of the train station, just before an overhead rail bridge, where they used probably less than 100 euros to keep traffic moving.
