Does Google Maps show railroad crossings?

Does Google Maps show railroad crossings?

Now, Google Maps is starting to show railroad crossings too. During navigation, users have noticed that Google Maps is starting to show railroad crossings along your route. As you approach a railroad crossing on your selected route, a new banner may pop up saying “Expect Delays.”

Is there an app that tells you when a train is coming?

Google-owned navigation app Waze is rolling out a global safety feature that alerts users about upcoming railroad crossings. The feature is not wholly new, and was quietly launched in the US, Belgium, and Canada earlier this year, but Waze says it’s now expanding the alerts to more territories.

Is Waze based on Google Maps?

Waze and Google Maps are both Google-owned global mapping apps that are built for iPhones and Androids, but each platform has successfully maintained its own user base. They are baking more community-based features into the app, but it focuses more on Google’s huge domination of mapping.

How do I know if a train is coming?

If a signal is lit up and shows all red lights, it is possible that there is a train approaching from “behind” the signal as shown in the photo above. If a signal is lit and shows a green light at the top, that means it is cleared for a train to approach from the lit/facing side, so a train may be coming.
