It's a real thing, trains are dangerous, you will get a fine if you try to cross them at the wrong location
Just recently we had to call in the military to protect the train tracks, people just constantly crossing train tracks. Trains constantly driving over hordes of people is really slowing down the economy.
If there only was some kind of technology to would tell people if its safe to cross or not.
I live in the country that most people agree has the best trains in the world. Illegal crossing of trains is basically a non issue. It barley ever happens, its almost never discussed, its not in the media much at all.
The amount of issue the country has because of trains is almost 0, with freak accidents where some teenagers swim in the river and then climb onto a railway bridge.
Cars that are being replaced are about 1000x more of a problem for safety. Trains are universally safer and every traveler that moves from a car to a train is a waste improvement in safety.
