I found this information on the NY State website:What vehicles are required to stop at all grade crossings? Section 1171 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law requires certain vehicles to stop at all railroad crossings, including: •any bus carrying passengers •any school bus •any vehicle carrying explosive substances or flammable liquids as cargo •any crawler-type tractor, steam shovel, derrick, roller, or any equipment or structure having a normal operating speed of ten miles per hour or less However, no stop need be made at any such crossing where a police officer or a traffic-control signal or sign directs traffic to proceed. The New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (Section 1176) also prohibits events obstructing highway-railroad grade crossings. Your point about stopping may have been required at one time is well taken. |
