I just watched a movie about the mess a young girl gets into because of social media. The movie was "Friend Request".

I wonder how often Newark and Philadelphia have this problem.

...and Brooklyn.

There were several locations in Brooklyn where cars could easily drive on tracks but almost never did.

Two that I actually remember were the Church Avenue tunnel under Ocean Parkway and the McDonald Avenue Line at Kensington Junction (McDonald near Ditmas Ave.)

In both instances, you had the paving give way to actual railroad tracks that anyone could see.

In the Kensington Junction instance the two branches of the surface Culver Line split, with unpaved railroad tracks, switches and everything. You had to drive AROUND these by using the paved street outside the elevated pillars.

Maybe if instead of the signs, warnings, rumble strips, spikes, and so on, the paving ended definitively BEFORE the tunnel and people saw they were going to go on Real Railroad Tracks. They'd get the idea.
