This happened a few miles from my house. There is only one car length between the tracks and the road at this crossing. The tracks parallel Grand Ave for well over 30 miles, and most crossings are tight. I've seen vehicles sitting on the tracks waiting for a light to change. This is not an unusual occurrence, especially in Sun City.

People just don't think.

Drivers in the phoenix area are pretty bad about blocking intersections and crossings when the traffic signal is red. Part of the problem is that people here insist on driving vehicles that are much larger than they are comfortable driving. They just don't realize how much roadway space their vehicle takes up.
