I recall somewhere that I saw a sign once that said "Caution Dangerous Crossing" and then had a stop sign. I love the stop sign idea because it makes incredible sense, but the law does not require stop, look and listen. I think in the interim stop signs should be at all crossing as well. The law states that if the lights are on,you hear or see a train then you are to stop look and listen. In this accident there was almost zero visibility because of the sun in regards to seeing the lights and also some cars in front crossed the tracks. It was a very bad situation because of the age of the driver(inexperienced) and the conditions of the crossing the assumption has to be made for self-preservation. That is every possible means for attempting to cross the track was made. I talk about the sight distance because if it would have been cleared ($1500) this person would of had that avenue as well to assess the situation for safe crossing. What I'm trying to say in my rambling on is that with all parties interested in safe crossings that brush would have been cleared and this person would of been able to determine more easily at a minimal cost that a train is close to the crossing. Please consider this when you travel your area as well. <br />Mike
