Yea but there is an exception for traffic controlled RRC not to stop just like for police directing traffic.If police are directing traffic,you are to obey them,if they signal you to go,unless of course if you see a train coming.
However the train may be stopped or going slow,so if the cop says go,you go.
As for signal lights,you should never park yourself on the tracks waiting for one to turn green.

My point is most drivers do not know about it or company policy is always stop.
Not much detail in the regulations on what exactly is a RRC controlled by traffic signal.
[/QUOTE]Tracks that have the word EXEMPT under the cross bucks mean placarded trucks and buses do not have to stop for the grade crossing but must travel at a speed that if the light and or gates activated the truck or bus could stop b/4 the tracks. These are usually on tracks that get seldom use or go to a stub end siding say into a plant or warehouse.
As far as crossings controlled by a traffic light, we have several in NJ. There is a busy one in Edison on Route1. As the train approaches the traffic light will turn red and then the crossing gates and lights are activated and the train proceeds across the highway.
I see the exempt sign in Edison. No doubt with those.2 different things -exempt was one part and the traffic light controlled is a separate statement.
The traffic light controlled one is on Route 1 in Edison just below I-287. The tracks cross route 1.
There is a traffic light controlled crossing in Red Bank NJ at the intersection of Monmouth Street and Bridge Ave. NJ transit goes through the middle of the intersection on an angle.
What is this common sense your talking about, asking for a friendSeems like folks would no better to stay back from the tracks while waiting for a green light.
As well as have the sense to obey crossing arms & Rail Road signals even if the light was green.
A lot of the time a little common sense saves a lot of trouble.
