We have some here in San Antonio. They have to have gates and concrete islands to keep people from driving around the gates. Charles Weston

I am not sure if there are zones like this elsewhere in the US or anywhere else. I think this is sad, as the RR tracks have been here since the 1800s, as the people who moved here, knew about the trains coming by every day. I wonder what will happen when there is a accident between a motor vehicle and train which I hope does not happen, but it will someday, in my opinion due to the nature of people running crossings.
