Some people who are intent on running the crossings are going to do so, but some can be “talked out of it” with the horn blast.  The horn intimidates.  If a driver makes a calculation that the risk of trying to beat the trains is acceptable, the sudden introduction of the horn can add enough risk to overturn that calculation. And just because gates may be impossible to drive around, that does not prevent drivers from trying to beat the lowering gates.  And as the gate fully drops, the train is only a few seconds away.  An impaired or sleeping driver might drive through the lowered gate and be struck by the train or drive into the side of the engine.  The horn blast could get the driver’s attention and prevent this from happening.
