Oh, I didn't understand what you had meant by driving onto the tracks.
I've been at least one crossing where I almost turned left onto the tracks instead of left onto the street before or after the crossing [1]
If this is happening much more often at one crossing than others, there's probably some feature of the crossing design that is encouraging this improper use. It's possible an inexpensive intervention could help a lot: painting lane lines and dashed turn indicators from the left turn lane could help.
Otherwise, it might be possible to put a gate over the rails, that was down at rest, and only raised when a train is crossing; but I've never seen that outside of rails at a park of some sort.

If not, Sunnvale Ave and Hendy Ave in Sunnyvale, CA. Heading south on Sunnyvale. I feel like this intersection has changed since, but I'm not sure.
