I see, for anyone else here is the definition from the HTA

“highway” includes a common and public highway, street, avenue, parkway, driveway, square, place, bridge, viaduct or trestle, any part of which is intended for or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles and includes the area between the lateral property lines thereof; (“voie publique”)

Were you on a highway when this happened? It sounds like the law restriction is just highway usage.

Sex even. Apparently it is too hard to call someone a woman.

I read the article, but I guess I’m still confused if they will actually face any consequences that will make Amtrak not be delayed by them?

I would rather a person in a car hits another person in a car than a car hit a pedestrian because the braking worked the way it should.
