At Mass Ave, they slow down, stop, then inch forward until they activate the crossing (just shy of the sidewalk), stop, then proceed when they see that all the traffic has stopped, and the crossing is clear of pedestrians and vehicles.

Then again, the last time I've seen a train there was January, so the winter probably did some damage there.
