Incidentally, the level crossing at Lincoln Road (Enfield) is closed to
cars
at nights and all day Sunday. I think the one in Park Lane near Theobalds
Grove station might be as well.

Er, wouldn't there be more rail traffic during the day than at nights and
weekends, and therefore more need to keep the barriers down for longer
during the day? Or is it because there's also more road traffic during the
day as well.

If a brand new road is built these days, what are the guidelines about level
crossing versus bridge? Are there any circumstances where level crossings
would still be installed these days?
