Makes me wonder why there is no barrier installed to block the path when a train is coming. That sort of thing is all over the place in countries with robust rail travel. It seems like a well-defined crossing so it’d be a no-brainer to install one there.
That’s true, this appears to be a light rail crossing. But then again that’s a pretty large station for just light rail so I’m not sure.
Where I live there are generally no gates for light rail but there are for all pedestrian crossings over ordinary train tracks, which honestly just makes me think we probably should be installing more safety measures for light rail.

I think it’s just a street. So it’d be like installing a barrier on the pavement.

A) It’s a tram
And
B) No there isn’t, they share the roads with everyone else

They share the road w/pedestrians in some countries w/robust rail networks.
