Very interesting and important information. If she followed other vehicles onto the crossing before the lights were even flashing, then all the focus on lights and sight lines is completely misplaced. Also, the sign saying "do not stop on tracks" might not be to the point, if she wasn't expecting to stop when she entered the crossing (the vehicle in front of her was moving when she entered and then stopped without leaving her room to get across). How about a sign before the crossing (at the white stop line) saying "Stop HERE if the crossing's not CLEAR"? It rhymes! Direct and to the point.Yes, it should actually say if the crossing and room for your car on the other side are not clear, but that is hard to say simply. "Stop HERE if the tracks you can't CLEAR"? The poetic construction doesn't seem appropriate for a road sign. |
