Rail-trail, MUT crossings

[mdeth1313]

Today on my way home from food shopping, I was driving by a trail crossing - there are flashing lights to warn motorists when someone on the trail is approaching, but there's nothing about stopping and there are stop signs posted on the trail (I've ridden it before). The speed limit on that road is 55 mph. Some guy on a bike is approaching and I took one look at him and figured he wasn't stopping so I slowed down and assumed --

he didn't stop- looked at my car and went before I ever began to slow down.

Even if he has the right of way - if the speed limit is 55, cars will be going faster than that. You might be right, but you'll also be dead.

I don't get it. Then again, stupidity and entitlement seem to rule the day.
