Looked like an interesting crossing, so I Googled it. Very interesting in fact, check out the cantilevers!

Spin around and there is a pedestrian crossing with bells and gates only.

You know, I do remember that accident now that you mentioned it. I just wasn't sure if it was this same crossing or not.
