...and can I just use this as a soapbox for a moment to rant at how much I haaaaaate when drivers behind me freak out and start honking and flashing their lights at me when I wait for the arm to be all the way up and lights off before proceeding, as I am legally required to do? It drives me nuts when I see people just floor it the instant they can squeak under the gate as it raises.
But you already knew my thoughts on people who don't follow rules...
(for those who actually don't know - you have to WAIT for the arm to be all the way up and the lights to be OFF before you proceed. This is because if another train is coming in the other direction, the arm may reverse direction and come down again!)
