Railroads Aid Safety Campaign On State Roads
Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson partners with railroads to curb crossing accidents. Pennsylvanian Railroad safety units will monitor busy grade crossings, log license numbers of reckless drivers, and notify owners that speeding and stopping violations threaten lives. The plan, proven effective elsewhere, aligns with Illinois law requiring ten mph approaching crossings and full stops at stop signs.
