A: The railroads have easments on their crossings that extend about ten feet on either side of the rail. While preforming work they have a duty to warn of any changes that have been made to the road surface so that motorists and riders alike can make the necessary adjustments to safely traverse the areas. These warnings can be as simple as orange cones and waring signs or flagmen.
In any event railroad crossings should always be approached with extreme caution.
