We have three railroad crossings here in town that split the downtown down
the middle. Two of them are very steep and there is one that is accessible to
everyone. Most GPS devices and apps direct everyone to one of the steep ones
so even though there are signs everywhere at least one big rig gets stuck
every week. Had a train tear through one of them last year. Driver barely
made it out.

I swear by Google Maps, however sometimes common sense has to take over. I'm
pretty good at directions and I always try to look out for street signs as
well. Normally it's a simple matter of me going where I need to go and the
GPS will catch up and adjust with new directions.
