It sounded ridiculous the first time I heard it but trains actually have right of way over cars/pedestrians... I wonder if those rights transfer if you could buy up an old train line?[0] (Of course, a HyperLoop isn't as easy to just drive over like train tracks, but if the tracks are already there, it's actually the towns/taxpayers that are responsible for the cost of building a safe crossing for cars/people.)
