Dallas Area Rapid Transit Silver Line horns will be quieter in Richardson as quiet zones for the train took effect Aug. 8, according to a news release from the city.
What you need to know
DART has been testing the Silver Line for the last several months, and during testing trains were required to sound their horns as they approached rail crossings to alert motorists and pedestrians.
Train horns will no longer sound routinely at crossings within city limits, and horns will only be used in specific safety situations.
