Crossing Tracks With Flashing Railway Lights Ticket?
Hi,
I was at a railway crossing yesterday, the train was stopped on the side of the tracks, the railway lights were flashing, and the gates were in the upright position/not being lowered. I went over the tracks as the lights were still flashing and did not receive a ticket from anyone on the spot. Should I be worried about receiving one in the mail?
TIA
Re: Crossing Tracks With Flashing Railway Lights Ticket?
Did you come to a complete stop?
If so, it's not illegal. If there is no barrier being used, you'd make a complete stop and proceed as long as it is safe to do so.
If you didn't stop, you weren't pulled over at the scene anyways. They're not pursuing this after the fact. It's not realistic. If you're being mailed a ticket, it's because you're being charged as the owner of the vehicle. There's only a few charges where that's an option and railway crossing infractions aren't one of them.
I wouldn't waste too much time worrying about this.

bend … you said: “There's only a few charges where that's an option and railway crossing infractions aren't one of them”.
Please list the other charges.
Thanks

Speeding (Automated Speed Enforcement aka 'photo radar')
Red Light (Red Light Camera System)
There is also failing to stop for a school bus which wouldn't necessarily be mailed, but could be issued to the owner with no need to identify the driver.
