What Should Be Done . . .

Do we need more police to monitor railroad crossings?

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.

Do we need tougher laws on the books to deter accidents at crossings?

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.

Do we need an end to lawsuits against the railroads involved in a grade crossing accident?

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.

What are your ideas and suggestion to reduce traffic accidents at railroad crossings?

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.
