True but it isn't the same in North America like it is in the United Kingdom. In Denver a new commuter railroad has a whole bunch of crossings on it.
Well, i'm not sure when the last time a new road got a railroad crossing in the UK, probably thinking the Wallington Bypass was the last one. The bypass opened in 1993. Heres a photo of the signals before the road opened. The crossing gets used by the Cholsey and Wallingford Railway that comes through this crossing every now and then.
Theres been little change at this crossing, everything else is still there despite the gate lights getting replaced with Unipart Rail gate lights. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.59199 ... 312!8i6656
You also have Oswerty, which was installed in the 1980's which has been left unused since the line closed in 1971. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.87978 ... 312!8i6656
Pretty interesting crossing! Someone needs to document it. It kind of has an American feel to it.
Well, it is pretty much documented, theres a guy called KINGANDCASTLE that has videos of Wallingford. Heres one.
I was kind of referring to a level crossing enthusiast like us or some friends of David and I.
