[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by zardoz</i> <br /><br />BRANDON, FL - <br /> <br />County officials plan to meet Wednesday night with a vocal grass-roots contingent of eastern Hillsborough County residents who say they are sick of the nightly blare of train horns disrupting their sleep. <br /> <br />The two sides will discuss an exemption to a new federal law requiring trains to sound their horns at every public railroad crossing. The new law goes into effect in December, but allows local governments to apply for ``quiet zones'' at railroad crossings with low accident rates and a string of high-tech safety devices. <br /> <br />Quiet zones are meant to reduce train-horn noise in residential communities without compromising safety. They can be expensive to implement. It is up to the government jurisdiction that maintains the road on which a crossing is located to apply for the quiet zones. <br /> <br />http://brandon.tbo.com/brandon/MGB94I3RNXD.html <br /> <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />I know we've discussed this subject before; it just amazes me each time I hear about it. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />who cares about them?!?!!?! they can soundproof their walls[:p][:p][:p]
