You couldn’t be more wrong. You cannot year or see a train until it is almost on top of you if you are distracted. I take trains and cross numerous crossings on foot every day, and you’d be surprised how soon a train can be right next to you without knowing it unless you are paying attention.
Well, no trains I ever saw did that. I guess that’s just my experience.
Anyways, youi’d think someone would look and be careful considering what he’s putting the flowers on the tracks for.
The presence of train tracks would be an important clue to amp up situational awareness.
