RAILROAD CROSSING

Here is a road (from bottom to top of the photo) cut (from right to left) by a railway track. So that road vehicles do not blindly cross the railway track, the road branches off to the right, makes a right angle, then another, thus forcing the vehicles to slow down before cutting the rails. And, during the journey made parallel to the railway track, between the two bends, the drivers of the vehicles are obliged to see if any trains are arriving. Is it in France that such an ingenious device is adopted and generalized at all level crossings deemed dangerous? No Alas ! It's in America.
