Yeah, anyone paying attention will realize within 2 seconds that it's tracks, but if even a small percentage of don't then you end up with a disaster every so often. There needs to be more signs and painted lines to make it more obvious.

It's a different colour, with a curb separating it, with lines in it.  Frankly, anyone who ends up there by accident shouldn't be driving, they're either incompetent, or not paying attention.  There's virtually no difference between ending up on the tracks and ending up on the sidewalk.

Honestly, at what point do we stop making excuses for drivers.  But personally, I give most drivers more credit, I still don't think it's an accident.

I mean, I agree with your points but terrible people are driving and will continue to drive and there's absolutely nothing that we can do about it... so shouldn't we design roads to account for that?
