OK - UK and signalling perspective here. Most "through" road crossings are protected with flashing lights in the UK; and to cap it the there is a speed restriction placed on the railway. There are a few exceptions; on one cornish/ devon branch the train has to stop; blow up and then proceed at 10MPH. But why worry - nobody is in a hurry in that part of the world anyway. There are four o/a (open/accommodation) crossings under "my" control - these are provided with a telephone. Now if the telephone is knackered; we have to caution - usually its kids messing about and leaving it off the hook or shouting expletives down the phone at you. However there are 2 trains an hour - I ask the driver to proceed at caution; cross when he is sure it is safe to do so and replace the phone. Imagine doing that for x crossings over x miles when the phone concentrator packs up! <br /> <br />So sopmetimes the stop; look and listen is a very very good thing..........
