Footbridges (over pipes, rails, water...), Catwalks, Tunnels, Jumping

See linklist below! -- ßilk

I just noticed something missing when using Railways:
There are no footbridges or railway barriers
in order to prevent players from being overrun by the trains
as those would provide safe ways to cross the rails.

The railway barriers could close if a train is in the area, limited by the signals.

The usage cases for this is different to viewtopic.php?f=80&t=14024 Travel over Water: Boats, Ships, Canus / Bridges / Tunnels

While the linked thread is more ore less a needed game element with high influence to the gameplay, this one is not so relevant.
It ensures of course an enhanced gameplay and more stylish graphics, but you can play also without.

footbridges is a good idea but what about roadbridges or railroad bridge to cross water, where it's not a large lake.
And for the large water, what about create docks and cargo boat?

That's not an actual bridge. It's a level crossing.

Well, if you are ready to show/hide layers (so that bottom stuff below bridge is accessible) - yes, this is interesting idea. But even more interesting would be belts over ground, pipes over ground and all such stuff
