For northbound trains they don't clear until the train has made it quite some distance down Courtland, leaving a driver blocked for 30 seconds or more after the train has passed. I haven't sat around to watch but I'd be surprised if their employees haven't already developed bad habits, and I fear "the boy who cried wolf" effect is going to cause an accident there one day.
Agreed. Yesterday at Water and Charles after a train went by I counted 24 seconds (not with a watch, so not exact) that the `no right / train` sign was lit. It didn't turn off until all the lights at the intersection changed to allow traffic on water to move again.
