I got some inspiration from Youtube videos like this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MH6YlCYv...detailpage At about 1:30 minutes is a switching cut free running on a street like an automobile. A passing automobile is just ignoring it and passes by in the other direction. That made me thinking that within pure industrial areas on not so busy roads more coexistence than usual is practiced.
This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlp3x0-xx...detailpage shows at 2:30 minutes a track running not in but unusual close to one lane of a road. Opening the door of an automobile might be risky some time.
The LA basin is a great area to get railroad and automobiles very close together
However, I would be glad if I would have the space and not copied this extreme scenes. It is very easy overdone if too much extreme scenes of the prototype make it into one small layout.
