Show REMOVE SIGNS AT CROSSINGS Automobile associations and others engaged in the work of averting grade crossing accidents, can do no better than campaign for the prevention of advertising signs at or near railroad crossings. There should be nothing at or near crossings likely to cause distraction. When the driver of a vehicle is approaching a crossing, he should have his mind on that very thing, and not be reading signs or thinking of something else. Signs are likely to attract his attention, and though only for a moment, it is at a time when he should be watching for trains and thinking of nothing else. It is for the safety of the motor driving public that signs at crossings be removed, other than those- required to indicate ta railroad rail-road crossing, and auto drivers and public authorities should cooperate coop-erate to effect their elimination. |
