It is reasonable for a driver to presume that by obeying the law, he will not end up in an accident that is not somehow the fault of someone else.

For example, do you stop at every green light to make sure no cross-traffic is planning on running the red?

The law does not require you to stop for a green light because it is reasonable to assume that you can safely cross the intersection without stopping.

For trains, it's different. If a train will never stop for a car, which is and should be the case, then the car should always be required, by law, to stop to check for trains where there are no other protections - don't you think?
