While trains overall are relatively predictable and pass far less frequently than automotive traffic, these collisions still occur with some regularity, particularly at grade crossings. As such, grade-separated crossings for railroads are both less challenging and expensive to implement, and similarly result in improved safety for all parties, at least when the comparably low rate of train collisions
