What about pedestrian crossings? Lots of folks park on the one side and have to cross to get the inbound trains in the morning.

Maybe a little common sense could help- look left - then look right- if you hear a train whistle then don't cross!! I learned that when I was 5

Great scolding, but bad advice, Taryn. Too many people have used that common sense and been killed or seriously injured crossing NJT tracks. Listening for a train is absolutely horrendous advice. Glad you survived childhood.
