Avoided:
Grade crossing elimination, deployable hard barriers.

Ameliorated:
An inclined (~17% slope) steel and concrete ramp shield, in the shape of a C, that allows the 3rd rail shoes to pass through. In the event of a grade crossing collision, it would guide the car/truck/trailer over the 3rd rail, especially the 3rd rail ends.
