Hi, all.
As I'm working on rebuilding my lost subway-trolley route, I've noticed an issue with grade crossings. I'm trying to build a street running section. It is comprised of a ROW (where the train tracks are for those who are unfamiliar with terminology) sandwiched by two roads on either side of it. When I try to do grade crossings, the cars stop and wait when my trolley is like 100 or 150 meters away. Even when it's stopped at a station 50 meters away from the crossing picking up / discharging passengers, the cars at the grade crossing refuse to cross the tracks. They wait until the cows come home if my train is less than 100'ish meters away.
Beyond 100 - 150 meters away, cars cross the tracks no problem. Is there any way I can make it so that cars keep on crossing the tracks until my trolley is like 25 - 30 meters away?
My trolley cars are running at like 10 - 25 MPH so it may take a while to reach the crossings. What's more, there's grade crossings every 200 meters or so. So pretty much a trolley sitting right in the middle of a 200 meter stretch blocks off the cars from crossing tracks at either grade crossing on either side of the 200 meter stretch. This isn't a high speed route or heavy freight route. These trolleys can stop and accelerate on a dime compared to bullet trains and 100 car freight trains.
Any ideas how this issue can be resolved?
