That's right, motorists that have been speeding or ignoring signage. The latest case involving the family shows that the car tried to brake. If they had followed regional crossings which have a COMPULSORY stop sign, then it means stop. Not cruise through like a yield or give way sign. You can put as many bells as you want, as many booms as you want, but at the end of the day, it won't stop people speeding?! Motorists are stupid and should be shot. Mind you new railways and hazardous junctions are being grade seperated as we speak. Again it all comes down to money, but at the end of the day, if you're behind the wheel and you get hit on a train line crossing, I have no mercy as you should not be on the crosssing. I've seen emergencies where cars have broke down, and its not hard to push a car or seek help which could be done in less than 5mins.
