If you can avoid this intersection during rush hour, do it. The frequency of Metra commuter trains will tie up east-west traffic, especially trains that stop at the nearby station, and cause the gates to stay down longer than normal. At night CP Rail can send freight trains that take 10 minutes to clear the crossing. DO NOT TRY TO BEAT THE RAILROAD CROSSING GATES! METRA EXPRESS TRAINS CROSS THE INTERSECTION ABOUT 6 SECONDS AFTER GATES ACTIVATE. YOU WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO REACT SHOULD SOMETHING GO WRONG WHEN CROSSING ILLEGALLY. The lehigh trafic lights stay green while gates are down.
