Just getting rid of the waved yellows "for the train" would be a start but I suspect that there would need to be some more subtle consideration.  |
So how about a dedicated safety car flag, which would be displayed at every post, waved when the 'train' is in the relevant sector. The yellow flag would then be used for its intended purpose, warning drivers of danger on track.
That would cost nothing to implement. Look around & you'll find a suitable flag tucked away in some forgotten corner - the late, lamented 'Battenburg'.
