Also, this style of crossing interdicts the road for less time; which is something that road users are typically in favour of.

"Automatic crossings, such as the one involved in this accident, don't work this way. There are no lineside signals, instead a detector is positioned usually about 60 seconds running-time away from the crossing to initiate the closing process."

Sadly if you attempt to stop cars for much longer than this (say 2 mins) before you can *see* a train, the number of accidents goes up as people start to ignore the barriers and zigzag around them. It's a trade off either way.
