Do trail crossings create traffic hazards?
No, when properly designed. An advantage of rail -trails is that they tend to have fewer road crossings and driveways than on-street trails. Where crossings exist, well-placed warning and directional signs-both on the road and the trail-can prevent problems and help trail users and motorists avoid dangerous situations. In addition, trail advocates can work with the community to develop user education programs that teach trail etiquette and bicycle safety.
