I'd have to disagree here, this is a fairly improved crossing with the rails level with the pavement, no timber apron and minimal gaps between rail and pavement. I cross something akin to this almost daily and never come out of the saddle.
That is not saying there aren't very dicey crossing, some that the best alternative is to dismount.

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
