<i>Do we need more police to monitor railroad crossings?</i> <br /> <br />Like they can spare the manpower, maybe use cameras like at intersections, but that still isn't going to stop them, I heard on our local radio how the street cameras here are having no effect on crime. <br /> <br /><i>Do we need tougher laws on the books to deter accidents at crossings?</i> <br /> <br />That may be a start, higher fines, maybe tie-in to it being a moving viloation, 3X of any MV and you lose your license. <br /> <br /><i>Do we need an end to lawsuits against the railroads involved in a grade crossing accident?</i> <br /> <br />No because there could be a valid reason for a lawsuit. I remember seeing somewhere a chart showing how a RR/Street crossing should be setup for visability. <br /> <br /><i>What are your ideas and suggestion to reduce traffic accidents at railroad crossings?</i> <br /> <br />Better education is the only way, if people think that RR tracks are just a bump in the road, they don't understand the dangers of what truly travels the rail. <br /> <br />My 2¢
