1:40-1:50 sloppy engineering. Preemption should allow for a "minimum green" time. The light should not have turned green for County Road 67 in the first place, since it changed back so quickly.
@GrnArrow092, I don't believe there are laws about it. I think the railroad self regulates and decides where they use them. I really didn't realize how many crossing in my area are bell-less. Most crossings through the heart of the city have them, and I'll be posting more as time allows. Most of the crossings I have posted so far are outside the city limits of my area, Anderson,IN.
But really, you'd think if nothing else, put bells at every crossing for vehicles like school buses and gas trucks.
@llokuta. I had to do a little research. There is no law or any known type of regulation. I misunderstood. Agencies such as INDOT appear to be making internal decisions to eliminate yellow flash, likely for safety and liability reasons.
Sorry about the misinformation. I'm glad you asked! I would have continued on believing I was right. Just ask my wife. :)
@wisecrac99 Eliminating yellow flash could be a good idea, because it may cause confusion for motorists stopping for the flashing red (for instance, they approach the crossing, but want to turn left or right on to the parallel road), as they may expect the cross traffic to stop too. However, an alternate solution to this is to place a neon sign that reads "Cross traffic does not stop" when the lights are in rail preemption mode. The sign would be blank if no train is present.
@123chinch456... And this crossing, turns out in my opinion, is one of the worst I've witnessed for going around the gates. I had about twice as many videos here, but only what you see made the cutting room floor. There are non-stop violations, not only of the crossing, but the traffic lights.
I may return here and other places and "cover" the issue a little deeper. Maybe I'll even get local law enforcment involved.
6:11 why do wehave to stop for a truck. because fuck you!! thats why.

I love the idiot who crosses right before the train hits the horn. Nice to see the traffic signal change the lights for once.

Terry, is there a reason why that none of the crossings featured here have bells? Isn't there a law that requires them?

Is this law change nationwide, or just in Indiana? What does the new law actually say?
