Crossings protected by traffic signals.
Here are a thread that I thought it would be a good idea to start! This thread is for crossings that are protected by traffic signals, that also includes traffic signals that flash continuously.

I wonder if these lights are related to it?

Re: Crossings protected by traffic signals.
I don't understand why this is a 4-way beacon and not a 2-way beacon. Maybe when this was installed getting a 4-way beacon was the only option (or they thought that it wasn't an issue) or maybe the signal is suppose to activate when there is a train and the crossing is malfunctioning.

Wheelwright Lane, Coventry.

If your eagle-eyed you can notice the crossing poles are rectangular steel poles, and one of the signals has a bent backboard and is facing towards a house. This is also one of the very few crossings in the UK to have incandescent gate lights.
Sadly, this line has since been closed.
Heres a video of the crossing in action.

This thread is kind of more for crossings that are just protected by traffic signals.
That is or was an interesting crossing though!

Re: Crossings protected by traffic signals.
Well, here in the UK. We have tramways, but they're protected by traffic lights, i didn't know if you mean't by railroad preemption or just traffic light protected crossings.ToledoRailfan wrote:NathanFromEngland wrote:
