   Was it by a railroad crossing?
   I just found this on answers.com
   QUESTION : What does the EXEMPT sign next to some railroad crossing signs mean?

   ANSWER: It simply means the commercial vehicles that are required by law to stop at rail road crossings are not required to do so there.
   It’s used on closed or little used lines.

   OK. So here’s the next question:

   If the tracks are gone, why is the sign still there?
