What are the duties and responsibilities of a motorist to avoid a train accident as he or she approaches a public grade crossing?
Although every state's laws differ to some extent, the general requirement is that a motorist approaching a grade crossing, upon detecting an oncoming train, must stop no less than 15 feet from the nearest rail and wait until the train has cleared the crossing. Drivers need to be aware that a crossbuck is considered the equivalent of a yield-right-of-way sign, and active protection -- when operating -- has the same effect as a traffic light displaying a stop indication.
