How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at State Tree Dr on North County Transportation Distrcit- Sprinter is credited with 70 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 13 is 70. These are counts the operating railroad reported to the FRA, not measurements, and a crossing's figure can be several years old.

Warning devices
13 of the 13 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. Every crossing here has an active warning device. The inventory describes equipment, not how a crossing performs.

What this page is not
This is a summary of a federal inventory, not a measurement and not a rating. RailContext does not score crossings, streets or towns, and nothing here says a crossing is safe or unsafe, or that a neighbourhood is quiet or loud. Train counts are estimates the operating railroad filed, sometimes years ago, and a quiet zone does not guarantee silence.
To see the individual crossings nearest one address rather than a whole city, use the address check.
