I guess the crossings came first; but you look at the TGV lines in France and I'm sure there are no crossings on it; yet alone ones like that. I guess it's all cost.
Public rights of way maybe?
Even when houses are built on a new build estate, they are forced to take in to account any existing rights of way - either by replicating the route or altering it somehow.
