  • Here is a railroad crossing with traffic signal preemption. Today I saw it time out, pay attention to the two traffic signals infront of the crossing signal cantilever. The video kind of explains itself.
    Eventually, the train comes in, which is GO transit.
    Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed!

    Edit: the crossing didn't malfunction, it timed out because the train stopped right after activating it.

    1:15 that’s the highest red light running streak I’ve ever seen.

    Since there’s a station close by, the signal thought it was stopped. That’s why it went back up.

      Thankfully they were just malfunctioning, reactivated since trains don't go too fast here. It was mainly the trains doing, it must have stopped right after activating the signals, causing the crossing to time out.

      It usually isn't even the railroads fault. Usually people ignore the crossing signals and then get hit, and the railroad has to deal with it unfortunately.
