Yes, additional warnings will be good, but that doesn't change the fact that she made a poor, high-risk decision to cross an acrive railway crossing -- and with a child in tow, yet.
And the report raised several mitigating factors that influenced her decision. Nothing occurs in a vacuum.
Demonizing is a shortcut for saying.... "Well she made a poor, high-risk decision to cross an active railway crossing with a child in two"...and concluding that with..."Therefore SHE is the problem, not the railway crossing"
That is not what I said. There were mitigating factors, but there were also many warnings, and most people at the crossing waited for the crossing to open. This situation likely occurs daily, and yet this is the only accident that I am aware of. So, I think it's not unreasonable to conclude that her decision and action also contributed to the accident.
