@David Johnston posted:I would disagree with you on the sign. The crossing identification sign is there because it is required by federal regulation. I am aware that they are there and have used them twice. Both times the railroad was very responsive. Those groups who are involved with railroad crossings and are a legally regulated profession, like truck drivers and police officers should have been taught about the sign and its use. If they do not know about the sign, it is a failure of their supervisors or managers to properly train and instruct these people.
David,
Let me add that the general public is also pretty much unaware of these signs. It would be a help if a public service announcement could be broadcast on TV nationwide about these signs, their placement and their use! And, it would help if the signs were larger and more conspicuous!
