CORRECTION: Exempt signs were installed in 2013 at Breakwater and Tabernacle roads, only recerntly were they placed at Route 47, Rio Grande. An alert reader brought that fact to our attention.
RIO GRANDE – It’s been years since a train’s whistle sounded in lower Cape May County to warn motorists of an oncoming engine. Regardless of the fact, school buses, NJ Transit buses and fuel trucks were still mandated to stop, look and listen at the “active” rail crossings.
Last week, “exempt” signs were posted on heavily traveled crossings, such as Route 47 in Rio Grande.
However, spotting those “exempt” signs might be a bit of a trick for unobservant drivers.
As accompanying photographs show, the signs are posted on the lower portion of the railroad crossing signs, not in the main “X” area.
At the Breakwater Road crossing, the abundance of other traffic signs makes it even more difficult to spot the word “exempt” on the crossing gate.
The Church Road crossing, the dividing line between Middle and Lower townships, has no “exempt” sign on its flashing light stand.
North Cape May – Hello all my Liberal friends out there in Spout off land! I hope you all saw the 2 time President Donald Trump is Time magazines "Person of the year"! and he adorns the cover. No, NOT Joe…
