Dear Editor,
Since parts of the Zoar Road have been closed for new bridges, I have had to detour to get to 341 and town—sometimes Printess Road, sometimes Friendship Church Road, or Doris Street. To maneuver this detour, I naturally have to cross the railroad tracks.
STOP signs replaced with YIELD signs at railroad crossings
And here I have noticed something that is very puzzling to me. I have noticed that all the STOP signs have been taken down at the railroad crossings and replaced with YIELD signs! This is scary! Maybe it’s because I just have a natural fear of being run over by the train, but it seems to me of all the places that drivers should stop (look and listen), it’s at a railroad crossing!
We have had too many train/vehicle accidents in the past. (Remember the most recent Doris Street accident?)
I’m sure there must be some rationale to these sign changes, but I just can’t see it. Would appreciate comments from your readers.
