<p>[quote user="CShaveRR"]The answer to that one is extra signs at the crossing, facing drivers on the parallel street or at least angled to "meet" them as they strat into their turn. I've seen it done often around here, with flashing lights, too. Usually there's also the circular RXR sign, with an angled arrow beneath it, in advance of the intersection, to warn people intending to turn that this is a railroad over there.[/quote]</p><p>Yes, there ought to be grade crossing signage that faces the driver before the turn. The stop sign that is there would obvioiusly be taken as a warning about cross traffic typical of any intersection, but not a train that would come from directly behind. When on this road, a driver is no more than ten feet from the closest rail.</p>
