Think you can get away with crossing the train tracks just as the lights start to flash and the bells start to ring? Not anymore. A new law is now in effect that allows fines of up to $1,500 and 75 hours of community service for even just finishing crossing the last track at the crossing when the bells and lights first start to go. That means all vehicles, and pedestrians/bikers as well.

I swear that happened to me this weekend. I crossed right when the lights started flashing and bells started ringing and I looked to my left and I could see the train coming. But I had to, if I hit the brakes I would have stopped dead on the tracks.

I recall something like that happening to me too.
