Of course most car drivers are morons around here. I've just seen inconsistent behavior with these trains crossing lights and signals many times.
I'm sure the signal system is subject to regulations and oversight as well. It seems weird people are so quick to blame only the signals. I'm more inclined to believe in human error than signal error. Do you have special knowledge on the subject?

Yes, I’ve worked in the rail industry. It takes a lot of time and distance to stop the inertia of something as massive as a train. A signal error, or the driver being distracted/stupid/both, are much more likely than the operator not stopping if they had the chance.
