That sign is there because the crossing use to be passive, they just blurred out the no. They should have just gotten rid of the sign when the crossing was upgraded instead of just blurring out the no, or they could have just at least replaced the "or" with an "and" so the sign would at least make sense. Although I don't think a sign informing motorists that there are gate and lights is even necessary. I'm curious to know what they were think when they did what they did to that sign.

I know that, i was just playing around.
Nearest railroad crossing when i go to Orlando is 8 miles away. Why will my parents not rent a car, according to Google Maps it will take nearly 3 hours to walk 8 miles to the nearest grade crossing!

Or better yet, come to Tampa and meet up with a fellow forum member. It's just down the highway from Orlando.

It wasn't even there when the crossing was passive either...
