[quote user="zugmann"]Well Mr. Bucyrus, we've heard why you don't believe many ideas would work.  So let's get down to business.  What do you think has to be done to prevent grade crossing collisions?  [/quote] One option to enforce crossing law is photo enforcement.  I don’t see why that would not prevent all intentional gate and light running.  I am sure that the fine for that would be astronomical.  A seat belt fine can be over $150.  So with the certainty of a fine of say $300-500, I cannot imagine anybody thinking that avoiding the risk of a train delay is worth the money.  They would have to set the cameras to allow a 7 second grace period at the onset of activation in order to allow for stopping distance, as I have talked about earlier.  A big part of the problem that I see with the status quo is the driver motivation to avoid a train delay.  I sense that the industry and safety groups are somewhat defensive about that factor, and thus in denial about it.
