However if you keep mainly to interstates and cities/suburbs, you may never encounter such a crossing, so the rule will float out of your head just as easily as the French word for goat. I've driven through areas around here with more cows than people, and yet even the once-a-week 10MPH train crossings have lights (though not always gates).I realise in this case that is moot since the guy lived right next door to the thing. But in a broader sense, do you really expect an obscure, irrelevant (to many) rule to suddenly spring to mind upon encountering the first unsignaled railroad crossing they've seen in 20 years? There's rules with reminder signs like "slower traffic keep right" and "yield to traffic in circle" that people regularly ignore! |
