This Paper Will Describe A Situation At A Specific Highway Railroad Grade Crossing Which Has Existed For Over 25 Years, During Which Time There Have Been Twelve Recorded Accidents. Three Governmental Jurisdictions Have Claimed That These Accidents Were Not Their Responsibility, And They Concluded That Nothing Could Be Done To Improve The Safety Of The Intersection. Three Of These Twelve Accidents Will Serve As Examples To Illustrate The Problems That Arose At This Highway Grade Crossing, Along With The Resulting Governmental Finger Pointing, Which Left The Public Facing A Hazardous And Unsafe Situation.
