I mean, at the very least he could have done it on train-tracks that don't intersect a road. That way if he ends up getting shredded he won't cause an intersection to be closed down for a few hours. Also, Texas is really bad about having too many at-grade railroad crossings.

They're fine for things where one or the other isn't used very frequently. Rural roads that see like three cars a day, or spur lines that see one train a year, that sort of thing. If both the track and the road are heavily used then it's a recipe for disaster.

In heavily urbanized areas, grade crossings have been removed wherever possible for the last hundred years or so because they kill a LOT of people. It was a big problem even before cars - people just love getting run over by trains, and if it's physically possible for them to do so, they will. Trains, too, don't generally like hitting things, so it's to everyone's advantage that grade crossings be eliminated.

Austin is especially bad about this. Right now there are two tracks going through the city that are used 4+ times a day and cross several very active roads. It's such a mess that the train companies are actively trying to build tracks that bypass the city but have had a hell of a time trying to get the necessary land. For example, this at-grade crossing is near the intersection of two major traffic arteries.

Niagara Falls also has a train track that kinda cuts the city in half. People have been bitching about ti for years, but its kinda hard with trains not liking grades so much. A lot of the crossings are fairly close together, so they couldn't build a rail overpass at each one, it would have to be a continuous overpass for several kilometers, which of course costs way more money to build and maintain. There is also not a lot of room to build bridges for the cars to go over the tracks, because there is development and driveways or road intersections close to the crossings which would add to cost and complexity of building bridges over the tracks. Also, who pays for that? The RR would probably be all, "well, you guys want to build bridges over OUR CROSSINGS? Sure no problem, you pay".

There are 4‐5 more of these at-grade crossings through equally busy areas north and south as well.

I've noticed drivers where I live have gotten really bad this year. Complete lack of turn signals, no one stops at stop signs anymore, unable to stay in the lines. Might be a global phenomenon.

I blame safer vehicles. Drivers used to be more careful when the slightest collision could turn your car into an inescapable human oven!  I'm jesting, I still drive a deathtrap and you can't make my driving style any unsafer

Sink holes scare the heck out of me. The idea that the road or even an entire building can just be swallowed up by holes big enough to make entire structures and vehicles disappear is pretty spooky. They are not a thing in my region luckily.
