We’ve discussed this before. There was plenty of space to have an exit, if one just didn’t take as a given that motor vehicle traffic needs 2 lanes in each direction. Of course now that it’s built wrong, it’s expensive to fix properly. I still think it probably could be fixed without moving the tracks but any revision to a street is expensive and requires a substantial construction period.
As long as they restrict themselves to posting signs for legal liability but take no real steps to enforce such a bogus rule it’s not too bad (except for the general principle of reducing respect for the social order which makes our society possible; not the blind following of rules, but the careful making of rules to everybody’s benefit).
