Well, it is just like our nation's roads and the drivers that are on them. <br /> <br />We all need to slow down abit and excercise alittle common sense ==aka good judgement, rather than always in a hurry to go nowhere. Today's society has it made and we have many luxuries and other things that distract us from the basic fundamentals of good driving habits. That being said, I don't doubt there are some RR crossings that need improvement. But since trains cannot stop on a dime and the improvements that some of the people want made to the RR crossings aren't going to happen overnight, how about using some good old fashion common sense and extend the odds of a longer life. Bad crossing might be construed to be a contributer to the deaths of a few people but a far greater number of people will continue to be killed by their own stupid judgement and behavioral patterns. Remember, when we get behind the wheel of our vehicles, for the most part, we set our own destiny. <br /> <br />I think that a start to decreasing the senseless deaths at RR crossings would be the installation of stop signs on both sides of the track, facing both ways. Yeah I know. That would be a nice billboard for taggers and theives and no one would stop at them anyway.........well maybe so, but it would be a start. Far too many crossing have only the traditional crossbuck.
