I think a distance of 3cm from track to pavement is required to place signals, switch stands and last not leat traffic signs (in this case lots of the famous "no parking any time").
The long stub track is a team track that will also hold center beam cars. The distance to the next track is already far to small for a forklift (lets be gently and not mention it again. The forklift operator with do his job). The next track's use depends on the operating model a) run around b) siding for opposing traffic c) transfer track (e.g. FCEN CF7 drops and picks cars for interchange with CSX). the next track is the main track.
For space saving reasons is the distance only 5 cm. Next is 3cm minimum distance to the road pavement, 8 cm road pavement and again 3cm to the next track.
That track is the lead track serving the diverging industry tracks. Two of the industry tracks are only 5 cm awayn from the lead track. The switch crew will hate me :-) With all the cramped stuff in place is the most rear rail 10 cm away from the backdrop. That is where the entire industry has to reside.....
I loved Freelance 2018-1 for the very first opportunity to model the background industry with a decent depth.
