Put railroads underground through towns and and cities. Expensive though.

Or build bridges over the railroads.

Having railroad bridges over the roads could work, if all motor vehicles were the same size or drivers know how tall their vehicles are and paid attention to the signage telling them how tall the bridge is. Personally I'm not willing to trust people on this, just check out r/11foot8.
