People don't expect trains to avoid them if they step on the rails.
Recently I almost got hit by an electrical scooter. Ambient noise was very low, and I relied on sound alone until very late, and saw it at the very last moment.
I've learned, and I won't rely on sound anymore. If cars occasionally don't react to them, people will learn too, and completely stop jaywalking in unclear situations. It will also cost many lives before everyone has had a chance to adapt.
