Safe railway crossing? (self.automation_games)

In factorio, how do I make a safe railway crossing? Such that the trains will stop if a player is crossing the tracks.

Gates are the proper solution. But then you need walls all along the rail, or need to remember to only cross the rail at these crossings. If you need something quick and dirty:

Connect a signal to a colored light, space them so that you always have at least one of these lights on screen. Or connect the signal to a programmable speaker, and make it play some sound which warns you.
