The tracks in my town, run parallel to the top part of a 'T', crossing the 'bottom' leg of the 'T'. The part of the 'T' that is crossed, and the right side of the top of the 'T', are even with the tracks. But the left side of the top of the 'T', has about 6-10ft. gradual decline. So coming up that incline from the opposite direction, and trying to make that right turn, is next to impossible, without getting hit by traffic, either behind, or to the right of the turn. It still is bumpy to go directly across the tracks, despite the improvements the rail company made to the track crossing.
