I do notice some improvements in a few places over the last 17 years. Many busy highways now have overpasses. Many grade crossings have traffic lights as well. That’s good design in my opinion, like putting a stop sign bar on the school bus.

I don’t know why grade crossings without gates do not also have stop signs. We have to assume that many drivers are unaware of the rules of the road, either through lack of training, forgetfulness, local culture, or inconsistencies with other countries.
