[quote user="JSGreen"][quote user="wildrails"]oh, didn't catch that.<br><br>I think they should put the ramp down much sooner. <br>Maybe two minutes before the train actually passes. That gives plenty of time for speeding drivers to either brake it and pass through or do such a crazy stunt. . <br><br><br>[/quote]<br>Or, cause more people to try to cut around the gates, because they dont want to wait that long...[xx(]<br>[/quote]<br><br>I doubt it, but at least it would be a great protection agains lawsuits. <br>This way some smartass might decide to sue the RR because it doesn't give earlier warnings or something.<br><br>In my country that is how it is, the gate goes down quite early, and nobody tries to go around. <br>On a crossing near the station, the gate goes down when the train starts out from the station, which gives it a couple of minutes before it gets to the crossing. <br>No accidents there. <br>Even if you are speeding and see it in the last moment, you can't do such a stunt, because there is already a line of cars in front of you waiting. <br><br>
