How often does this happen? Not all 270 railroad crossing deaths are similar to the specific accident mentioned caused by confusing a railroad crossing with a road.
At the same time, there must be billions of railroad crossings by vehicles every year. If map apps do anything to announce/mention railroad crossings, I would expect there to be some number of people that make this mistake because of confusion about the announcement/indication instead of preventing it.
