Level crossings on 3rd rail are typically avoided due to electrocution risks, as the only level crossing with 3rd rail in Rotterdam is outside the link tunnel to Rotterdam Centraal station, and there was not enough room.

Naturally called Stadionweg :D .
I used to think that Stadionweg (in it's 1970-2016 configuration) used to have an underground walkway, but idk because all the other major stations in Simvliet had overpasses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Typically avoided.... usually.
But there are whole railways on which it is no problem at all. A few examples from the "Ligne de Cerdagne" in southern France:

As for Rijndam; you already know the Station Westplein levelcrossing, and this one is used in Rijndam 1985 at Muziekbuurt ;) ;

Michiel, where's the tunnel in the promotional image of beta 3.11? Is that near Simvliet Centrum, leaving Westpark?

And there will be a new extension on Simvliet?

Michiel wrote: 27 Apr 2017, 16:23 Line C in Simvliet has been given a makeover in order to construct entrances to the stations and to undo the neighbourhood being split in two by the a metro line without crossings. Two stations have been elevated, while a third station has been lowered. In case of Driemansweg, the station has been lifted up a few meters to allow a passage below the tracks to the other platform:

At Noordplein, a new crossing has been added to allow passengers to access both platforms and to allow citizens to go to the other side of the track sa well:

Nice job on the changes on the Wiki!
