Car rolls onto the sidewalk. Crushes a pedestrian.
Car had a baby in it. Baby dies.
Car belongs to beloved old man neighbor. Whole city now hates the train and gets it removed.
This suggestion keeps coming up, and it never gets less juvenile. The solution is simple - aggressively fine these people. Scale the fine based on income. If it sits there for more than a minute, call a tow truck to move it like an adult. And then install a knee high concrete barrier around the tracks to stop cars from getting there in the first place.
If someone leaves their baby in a car and parks it on the tracks, then it’s their fucking fault if the baby dies. The parent/owner of the car should be charged with negligent infanticide in that case.
If police cars can ram other vehicles, so can streetcars. The strawman nonsense you posted isn’t a consideration for high-speed pit maneuvers by the former, and it would be even less relevant for gentle nudges by the latter.

Cops have done all that shit, thousands of times, and no ones ripped them out by the roots.
