The statement should be 70% of the 15% of crossings have real time gate activation and 30% of the 15% of the gates have constant time gate activation. Depending on the crossing width and if the cross traffic lights are interconnected with the crossing lights where vehicles can be trapped by traffic the 20 seconds time down should be extended up to 60 seconds if need be. <br /> <br />This circuitry upgrade the tax-payers pay $100,000 dollars for and I've seen them do it on 20 mph tracks. A railroad favorite way to delete crossing safety funds so no NEW crossings ever go from passive to active. They save like $2,500 a year at every crossing that isn't active and do everything in their power to make sure no new crossings are added on to the maintenance lists.
