      Let's take a quick look at railway crossings in Japan #TrainTwitterpic.twitter.com/DGrt3Nr0C1

      As a rule, they usually have lights and gates...in a rural enough setting you might find one that's just signposted thopic.twitter.com/tbm5rgQV98

      What impresses me the most about them, though, is that even where the crossing road is too narrow for cars, they still let you across the tracks--pedestrians are IMPORTANT!pic.twitter.com/ItxfIkWdHZ

      As a result, the "barrier" effect that train tracks have is mitigated, promoting overall mobility 😊pic.twitter.com/5GnqDh1uZx

      That’s good but what are the stats on ped fatalities from this?

      hard to get comprehensive data, but in 2013 there were 274 railway-related fatalities, with following breakdown: - 91 at crossings (all--cars, bikers, walkers etc) - 153 trespassing (on track but not at crossings) - 20 falling from a platform - 10 hit while on the platform (!)

      here's a comparison on level crossing fatalities between Japan and EU countries...again, it doesn't break down if they were walking, driving, or biking across. But I would assume that the bulk of these are drivers, since cars have the least maneuverability...pic.twitter.com/aZ2hlPQn5u

      ...and since the only headlines that come up when I search for this involve people in cars who got hit at level crossings, never pedestrians getting hit

          Looks a bit on the high side compared to Britain, which probably overprotects its crossings. Still, a small number for a large country and very small compared to US traffic fatalities.

          yeah--also very low relative to the number of people carried by train every year
