The railroad may be forced to put positive barriers in place to guard some 
of its crossings.  Could some of the roads be closed, with permanent 
barriers, to eliminate a few of the crossings -- ideally the most dangerous? 
Could the families of the drivers who are killed or crippled get outrageous 
settlements through the British court system?  At a minimum, maybe some 
speed bumps could be added to the road far enough back from the crossing to 
encourage the drivers to slow their cars down.  The Darwin Effect seems not 
to be working here, as it is the innocent locomotive drivers rather than the 
automobile drivers who are being killed and injured.  Charles
