We got a ticket in the mail for $250.00. We were heading west on Irving Park Road and came to the WoodDale Road railroad crossing; the camera flashed AS the audible signal went off and the gate started to come down--NO ONE could have stopped that quickly! We are presumed guilty and fined by a machine which is preset to ticket you if you happen to be the one there when it "goes off"! Our only solution is to go another route and avoid WoodDale.

Wood Dale Railway crossing at Irving Park Road and RR crossing. Same scamera and trap. 250.00 fine. What in the world. How can they do this to people? I watched my video and can not believe how stupid this is. When you see the lights come on and my vehicle go through the RR crossing just as the gate comes down. Now I understand that you stop, but if you are driving at 30 MPH and with no yellow warning light that changes to red. I feel that I have been screwed. This violation is bull *#**. Way to go Wood Dale. Stop patronizing Wood Dale. I could understand a $100.00 fine but $250.00 is ridiculous. Sending people to the poor house is in humane. Who ever voted this fine and camera in should be terminated and may they have seven years bad luck!!!!
