Got a tweet about this, thought I'd share here. This is in Denver.

A few that come to mind: Neville/Boundary, River Avenue, maybe Arlington and/or Warrington, South Side Trail. I'm sure there are others.
Are these necessary at Neville/Boundary, Southside Trail, or River? The path of travel is naturally pretty perpendicular to the tracks. The point of this is to make it more perpendicular when it is not.
I haven't been to Arlington or Warrington.
The angle of the tracks across River are such that I always find myself angling to cross them; I can see markings being useful for people.
Arlington is a mess in general (in part due to the narrowness of the street).
Note that there's a difference between rail tracks and tram tracks. More modern tram tracks seem to use grooves that are much narrower than older ones, so angle choice is more forgiving.
How about an at-grade crossing connecting Junction Hollow Trail with the lower part of Schenley by the lake?
*wink*wink*
Guys, crossing any rails when they are wet -- this is a danger. Wet steel and wet rubber means low friction. Stefb mentioned how people got wiped out on River during one of Tuesday's rides during rain.
