hold up traffic? There is a train crossing near my house that blocks traffic sometimes up to 20 minutes at a time, possibly more.

In Texas it is 15 minutes, but it is very hard to enforce.

Trains generally have priority over vehicular traffic because they can't be stopped in a short amount of time. If it's a real problem, take it up with your city hall to build some kind of overpass.

No, some cities have tried to pass them, but they have never held up in court. ( and 20 minutes is a short time compared to hours in some areas at times)
