Colo. Rev. Stat. §42-4-706 (2012)
Ma bezwzględny obowiązek zatrzymania się minimum 4.5m przed torami (lub nieco bliżej, jeżeli coś przesłania widok) i upewnienia, że nic nie jedzie nawet jeżeli szlaban nie jest opuszczony. Zawsze mnie zastanawia jakim trzeba być debilem, żeby nie zauważyć pociągu, szczególnie w nocy gdzie widać szybko zbliżające się światła...
