Editorial: The gates at most railroad crossings, while they give clear warning of oncoming trains, are not large enough to prevent automobile drivers from going around them onto the tracks  Some people claim that the ensuing accidents are partly the fault of the railroad company, but this is a mistake
Granted, if one has a small child in the house, then one ought to block access to stairs completely; but a licensed driver is a capable adult who should know better
When the warnings of companies are disregarded by capable adults, the adults are fully responsible for any resulting accidents.
