In relation to safety at crossings, Emergency Notification Signs (ENS) are located on the safety devices at all railroad crossings. This system enables the public to report unsafe situations and for railroads to respond to malfunctioning warning signals, vehicles stalled on the tracks or other emergency situations. A majority of respondents (approximately 60 percent) answered that they were aware of the ENS system.
