Interesting, I'd never seen a full-barrier crossing where only part of the barrier had skirts. Reminds me of the old A6 crossing in Lancaster - it was a one-way, 3-lane road with full barriers one one side only, but truncated barriers and red/green MWLs to protect pedestrians - still the only time I've seen dedicated pedestrian barriers in this country.
Gates for pedestrians are becoming more common on level crossings. Australia has an interesting design that originated in Perth. In the USA, gates for pedestrians are mandated in quiet zones where train whistles are forbidden.
