Spinoff: Do you stop at every railroad crossing that doesn't have swinging arms?

My bad, delete

I was confused for a second there..

If I can see several hundred feet to the sides to see if a train is coming I won't. If there are a few trees blocking my view I miiiiiight stop

Nope, just judge my speed by the distance I can see down the tracks..usually the crossings have flashing lights if there are no arms though

No. Never

Maybe not completely stop, but I slow down at ones where I can't clearly see down the tracks while approaching, even if they have lights. Most of the shitty crossings around here are so bumpy that I'd probably need to slow down anyway.

On another note, this video was recently shared on my FB page: LINK
If I'm reading the time stamp correctly, the cross bars came down really quickly trapping the truck between them, then the train came by 20 seconds later. Is that normal speed for those kinds of things?

Yes.

I once came across this crossing and was about 20 feet away, none of the lights were flashing and a train roared through from the left. Didn't blow the air horn.
