Did the rules change or is Abingdon just not paying attention? When
Christiansburg wanted to ban horn use at the Cambria Street crossing, it
had to reconfigure the crossing. They went the low-cost route and built
curbing barricades between the lanes on either side of the crossing, to
prevent someone from going around the first stopped car and entering the
grade crossing around the lowered gate. The alternative was to install
full-quad gates that would block both lanes of traffic on both sides of the
grade crossing. See
