Automatic barriers!
It's all down to cost.
It IS Not possible to bridge many of the level crossings reasons below
1) there are too many of them
2) the volume of traffic (both rail & road) does not warrant it.
3) in many places it is not possible to bridge/underpass the the railway
In nearly every accident on automatic half barriers the accident was caused by miss use.
If gates were used delays to road users would be longer.
To man & gate all crossings would be prohibitively expensive.
It is not the system that it flawed but Impatient road users.
