I don't understand that excuse at all.
VIA trains go through level crossings at 100km/h.
It just changes the amount of time that the crossing arms are down.

I guess the regulations/speed limits are being set so that a train is able to stop for a pedestrian that is maliciously trying to block the tracks? So 80km/h is not possible, since they want to be able to do an emergency stop in X metres before any crossings?
