Rising bollards may be the answer.

I nearly killed myself and my Hungarian agent one day when I was driving her car back to Budapest. She was asleep, we had had a long day and I admit I was following the car in front on auto-pilot. The sun was low and I simply didn't see the red lights so I just followed the car over a level crossing, realising as I was halfway across that the buffers of a train were about twenty feet from my ear. Made it alive and my agent never woke up, so I said nothing to her. Closest I've ever come to death.
