Cool... I knew they were allowed now, but this is the first real application of them I've actually seen! Cool!

They actually did it.... :Blink:

There was something like that being proposed for the MUTCD 2009. I don't know if it went ahead or not, but that is just weird...

Judging by the sign to the left of the crossing, a lot of golf carts go through that little crossing there.

Oh, and if you hadn't noticed... this is the same rail line that uses the unsignalized crossings in this thread.

Geez... again with the wrong way gate stripes.
OK, that setup just lost some points in my book.

I'm going to be the Simon Cowell harda$$, and say 12. (One for each red stripe)
Oh, and I'm also taking an extra two points for no gate lights, and uh... 1 point for no bell.
:aaargh:
Just give me $20K and a baseball bat. I'll keep people from crossing if they know what's good for 'em. :LOL: :LOL2:
Not. :Drool:
