    The real thing that breaks the Euro mind about this is that you go all that way and cross 3 rails, all quite close together all things considered

      if you are on an expressway, and often roads smaller, usually grade crossings are avoided if possible. either the rail is on a bridge, and the road dips under, or the road is on a bridge and crosses the rail. it won’t show as a hazard on the route in either of those cases.

        It’s also insanely inconsistent about showing them depending on zoom level when you look at the same route

        I was just making a joke at our piss poor rail systems expense

          You are still not wrong about our rail system, god forbid a passenger train hold up a freight train for one second, won’t someone think of the shareholders???

      It’s cause on that route the rails are over/under passes
