Suggestion: Railroad crossing

Any possibility to add a "Train crossing intersection" hazard?

Along US 54, through Raleigh, Morrisville and Cary (in North Carolina), there many busy side roads (Hopson Rd, McCrimmon Rd, Morrisville-Carpenter Rd and Morrisville Pkwy) that railroads cross. When a train crosses, traffic stops and backs up. Swift Ave & Main St. in Durham is another example.

If drivers had a "heads up" that train is crossing one of those roads, perhaps we can find an alternate or at least know that is issue with traffic.

Do the trains cross at the same time every day or week? Waze will (theoretically) learn this event, and take it into account when planning routes. YMMV.

Meanwhile, you (and others) could type "Train crossing" in your hazard alert while you're waiting at the crossing...
