This crossing looks to be recently upgraded. Its old crossbucks and stop signs are still there.

South American countries tend to have a variety of crossing signal and signage types, seems like they don't really have much standards for that.

Mexico is in North America.

It isn't uncommon in Mexico to see crossbucks and stop signs at gates crossings. Although having three stop signs on each side is pretty strange!

Interesting signal in Brazil! It is rare to see crossings with lights and bells there. Note the gate mecanisms

I posted these here back in November in Google Maps Scavenger Hunt but I thought I'd re-post them here in this thread.
These are Spanish signals with Canadian crossbucks in Chile!

https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.618447 ... 6656?hl=en

However they have been replaced by cheap gates and regular Chilean crossbucks.
