Railroad Crossing Safety
Railroad crossings are particularly dangerous, accounting for a significant number of train-related injuries and deaths. Many of the factors that contribute to these accidents are the responsibility of railroad companies.
Factors that can make a crossing hazardous include:
- Inadequate Warning Systems: Many crossings lack proper warning signals, such as lights and gates.
- Poor Visibility: Obstructions that prevent drivers from seeing an approaching train.
- Intersection Proximity: Crossings near other road intersections can increase the risk of accidents.
- History of Accidents: Crossings with a history of accidents are often considered more dangerous.
