Ideally the speed limit should be set such that it would always be possible to stop in time at such crossings. Even more ideally the road would be designed such that it would be impossible to exceed that limit.
Unfortunately there are many places where this is not the case.
They pretend they do this in France and let cars and worse, panel vans, park 0-10m from the crossings, the law says minimum 5m away, since most towns aren’t compliant there’s a date they have to be compliant by: keeps getting pushed back because no one gives a shit and no one scrapes off the lines marking the parking spots.
There should realistically be an option for driving off the road into the trees.
or not speeding in the first place
