You certainly cannot help the BRAIN-DEAD people that drive around lowered gates at RR or Lightrail crossings. They are apparently suicidal or on drugs. When the LAMETRO Blue line opened to Long Beach, there was numerous collisions between trains and cars which drove thru  clossed gates!! One paricular gruesome one was a taxi that raced the train down to the next crossing with 5 passengers aboard, and turned in front of the light rail train and was broad-side and pushed down the track. Everbody died in the taxi !!  The europeans have it right. A barricade rises out of the pavement that cannot be breached by a speeding auto which destroys itself on the barricade and allows the train a an accident free passage !!!     rogertrolley
