I love it when city planners put a traffic light in close proximity to a railway crossing. It's just begging for fatalities. Wasn't it just a couple years ago that a school bus stopped ON a rail crossing for a red light at an intersection and a shitload of kids got killed? At least the bus driver lived to be haunted by his idiocy for the rest of his miserable days. If you were in danger of being hit by train or nudging forward into an intersection, which would you choose? I'm guessing most of us would take our chances with getting hit by a few toyotas rather than a freight train.
