[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by missouri</i> <br />What about Moose Crossing signs Kevin. Should drivers stop, look, and listen?[/quote] <br /> <br />Is that the best response you have? Sorry, but that was just LAME!! <br /> <br />Besides that, it's not even remotely similiar. If your Moose Crossing signs are anything like Deer Crossings in the US, then it's a yellow diamond which is meant to warn people to be alert for deer. It doesn't mean stop. Red indicates that the driver should stop (or yield to oncoming traffic). Flashing red lights mean stop. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: NO no, you see the lights<font color="red"> DO NOT</font id="red"> stop flashing until the gate has reached there original state .. so therefore..<b> "rose high enough"</b> <font color="red">DOES NOT</font id="red"> mean the gates <b> were</b> going off... by Canadian law its wait until the Gates are <font color="red">COMPLETELY</font id="red"> up and the lgiths <font color="red">HAVE STOPPED</font id="red"> <font color="navy"> <i> flashing </font id="navy"> </i>... lights don't stop flashing until the gate is completely up.. Ever noticed that??[/quote] <br /> <br />Exactly!! The guy was impatient and couldn't wait. Big difference between "rose high enough" and "completely". <br /> <br />These type of people probably ignore the flashing lights and the extended stop signs on school buses picking up or dropping off kids. If they hit a kid coming off the bus they would probably attempt to either blame the child or say the stop sign was not completely extended so they didn't have to stop.
