There is a really busy railroad crossing on Airport Road and County Line Road, as well as a loading station. Quite often, trains will block traffic on these roads, and will even stop on the crossing, blocking traffic for a very long time. I and several others (particularly Publix employees, given the proximity to the corporate office) have been late to work or daycare on multiple occasions, as this typically happens during rush hour in the mornings and evenings. It also creates a safety issue, as people start to drive aggressively in an attempt to bypass traffic. The issue has escalated recently and has been particularly problematic while a portion of County Line Road was closed, leaving drivers no way around.

Please consider limiting the times trains can cross so that drivers and employees can safely and quickly move through the area without fear of being late to work or daycare, and without fear of other aggressive drivers who are in the same situation.
