Google Maps may soon help you avoid railroad crossings along your route - Android

Living in a small town crisscrossed by train tracks is a recipe frustration if you need to get anywhere in a hurry. Google knows this, and is starting to integrate railroad crossing info into Google Maps navigation. The feature isn't official yet, but it's showing up for a few users.

According to the Google Maps subreddit, the alerts are merely indications of where the train tracks are when you start navigation, not a live look at whether or not you'll get stuck at a crossing with an active train.
