Ah, Thanks, Ed, for bringing this side of it up. At another railroad forum to remain nameless, (no, not TO,) we had a nice discussion of this. How about some of these: Make grade crossing violations a major ticketable offense. Result? Increased enforcement by traffic patrols. Make grade crossing improvements a financial responsibility of the local jurisdiction. Right now the railroad (in Oreogn anyway) is usually the payer of costs for new signals. If a city has to pay for them, then maybe there would be greater incentive for reducing crossings, or for signalizing them, through the annual CIP process. Place stop signs at all unsignaled rural crossings. Simple traffic rules are easy enough to understand. it's cheap, and it might save a few lives. Best, Alexander in Oregon PS. Not an engineer, but I know some, and boy, do they have some nutty stories to tell! Some drivers....
