The stop signs at the railroad crossing on County Line Road have been removed. There are now crossing signals there to warn traffic. On Monday Bluffton council will act on legislation to repeal the ordinance authorizing a penalty for failure to stop at the stop signs.
The stop signs were put in place in the 1980s after a fatal accident occurred at the crossing. Since that time frequency of trains has decreased to two a day and the speed of those trains is at a very slow pace.
