you can do something about them - get rid of them alltogether.

i work trains regular between manchester and southport - theres 15 level crossings on that line alone, all half barrier bar 3 of them - next time i see a car racing the train to the crossing i'll be sure to think to myself "oh don't worry, nothing can be done about level crossings" as we hit the fucker

i'm sure there are other employees of the railway on here - drivers, guards, signallers, Pway men etc, who will all agree that level crossings should be completely removed from service.
