I was watching the Today show this morning, and they showed this produce market in Thailand that sits right next to the rails of a train track. Although I thought the Thai people to be a bit odd for placing their veggies where they can possibly be smushed, apparently due to the lack of space, this is probably the only place they can set up. This market is actually a tourist hot spot for those who are visiting that area (they even throw in swimming monkeys). According to Richard Barrow who keeps a blog on Thailand, some of the produce is actually kept on trays with wheels, so they can easily be rolled out of the way of the train. It really is an ingenious use of space in a pinch and, as long as everyone is aware of when the train is coming, no one gets hurt.
I notified Code Enforcement in Lake Worth. They said this is fine as long as you trim your palm fronds regularly.
