A pre-registered discontinuity at 41 suburban crossings, and the door chime the University now sets by it
A poster from the School of Continuous Improvement times 3,900 on-foot crossings at 41 level crossings and finds the share of walkers still crossing falls from 0.74 to 0.09 at the first movement of the boom arm, with the train still out of sight. The University sets every lecture-theatre door chime to sound eight seconds before its latch, which engages whether or not anyone is on the threshold.
