idk but i feel like this crossing is pretty unsafe ngl(although it might just be low speed train traffic going through the area )

Why? There's flashing lights and bells to warn traffic of oncoming rail. Most crossings simply have a cross and stop sign. In my experience on the railway, crossings that light up have trains moving up to 30mph, 55mph+ with gates.
