What if Lego created a line of road baseplates with train tracks embedded in them?  What type of sections would everyone like to see?

the ones I can think of now are:

single track:

straight segments

curve segments 

Junctions

crossings

slopes.

Double track:

straight segments 

curve segments 

junction segments 

crossover segments 

crossings

slopes.

general:

sections where track is are either red or green in color for public transport only

sections where track is are same as rest of street for mixed traffic

Sections where there is interlaced track should be included such as special points and other areas for such track

there should also be areas where the tracks transition to normal LEGO rails as well

Given that Lego doesn't even make many of the things on your list for regular train track, and hasn't expanded the selection in years (or really ever.. Only new thing has been a double crossover that failed miserably from their perspective), it's just not going to happen. There is no market for trains in Lego's view.

But luckily dozens of people have done this exact thing using brick built roads. Many even incorporate different color on the tram section, such as PennLUG's beautiful layout.

Sadly, not everyone has the ability to make brick built roadways for tram lines 

I see some of the things on this list happening. But the slopes and tram rails may be a bit hard.

Slopes would be a little tricky but it’s an idea
