Here is one in Montevideo (the capital of Uruguay) with teardrop bells! This was found by McK&H.Aust.

It looks as if those bells are WABCO teardrops.

I wonder why this road has never had an overpass built. Its just a open grade crossing on a freeway. :Blink:

That crossing has been posted here in the past. And the reason being is because it's technically not a freeway (although parts of US-127 through Michigan are freeway-level).

You can find quite a few crossings such as this one in central/northern Wisconsin... around the Green Bay area especially. I've also seen roads like this in Iowa.

As Zach mentioned, although the roads are 4 lanes... and in some cases have exits and entrances like an interstate would (especially in larger cities), it is not officially a freeway/interstate. Which means you can find driveways leading up to residences along with standard 4 way intersections with traffic lights in some areas.

Looks like they wanted to replace the signals but they never did.

There use to be three signals on each side! :Blink: :Confused:

This nearby crossing looked like it was going to be upgraded from passive to traffic signal controlled but for some reason they never were.
