what is the law on railroad crossings?

[LeAnn G]

my uncel was just killed when a train hit him as he was crossing the tracks in his truck at a rail road crossing. at the crossing the is only one sign that give a waring that there is a rail road crossing. there is no flashing lights or guard arms to warn you that a train is close by. and you cant see if there was one comeing untill it was to late. was wondering if anyone knew the laws for south carolina concerning this or where i could find it thank anyone that could help ------

I learned a long time ago that uncontrolled crossings are dangerous. If you can't see a train coming you go slow, you stop, you open your windows and listen, but you don't drive onto the tracks until you are sure it is clear. A moving train has the right of way, always, every state, every province. ------

That's tough. I'm sorry you're going through that. It's possible the railroad crossing is badly engineered, or unsafe in some way, and that's worth a look at the crossing. Talk to the city or county road commission, state department of transportation if it's a state highway. But you know... ultimately the driver has to be mindful, cautious and safe on his own. There's nothing they can put at a railroad crossing to fix that. Encourage the rest of your family and friends to think about railroad crossings as a place to be safe. ------

Signs or not, if you can't tell when a TRAIN is coming, you probably shouldn't be driving. ------

LAW trains must blow their wistle when aproashing ANY crossing. NO MATTER WHAT. Unless its a private crossing which means there is nothing you can do about it. I am sorry. ------
