As I understand it, level crossings on public roads here have to have flashing lights and barriers - railways in this country have had to be fully fenced-in by law since the earliest days to keep people, animals, etc off the rails (they do still find their way onto the tracks but it's not that common). You will find the occasional farm crossing on branch lines which just has a pair of 5-bar gates and some old sleepers (ties) between the rails - using these is a little risky, you have to open both gates, then cross as quickly as possible while listening for trains. I think some of them may now have a phone to allow farmers moving animals to check that nothing's coming their way - I've not looked closely at one.
