Under the new FRA laws set out from Jan 1 2005, ALL trains must sound a LONG-LONG-SHORT-LONG pattern at the crossings unless the crossing has been pre-authorised with the FRA as a "quiet zone", which means the crossing must have 4 flashers, gates, bells and any other features. No flashers or bells? the driver sounds the horn!
they must get a chaffed horn hand

They are required to signal at crossings, however I think they usually do this to excess. It is really annoying.

They have to signal long because of all the morons who go around the gates.
