Are all user worked crossings on private roads? I suspect not. Certainly not in the past.

I've used a UWC on a public road in Norfolk, near Wroxham.

I agree this may not be helpful to the road user who comes unexpectedly to a type of crossing not listed in the Highway Code, but in theory someone (the authorised user) should have provided them with a briefing on what to do.
