>> When a plane or train crashes, we stop everything and redesign the entire network to prevent this from happening again There was a train crash less than a month ago that killed 4 people and injured 150, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Missouri_train_derailment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Missouri_train_derailment. It was at a crossing that didn't have warning lights or crossing gates. Which is a known issue and has been for many decades. We are not going to stop everything and redesign the entire rail network to prevent this from happening again, because it would cost too much. Even if saving lives and preventing injuries was the only priority, there are better ways to spend money than improving railroad crossings in rural areas. The current mileage death rate for motor vehicles is around 1.5 deaths per 100,000,000 miles driven. Marginal improvements in that have to be cheap to be cost-effective, there are many ways to save lives and prevent injuries in America if you have money to spend.
