Gate is on the wrong side of the road, and the stripes are angled incorrectly.
Just the facts, ma'am.

It is on a divided road. I cant really draw a gate on the other side of the road very well.
I will fix the stripes though.

Thats fine, I mean, you asked for comments.

It's ok, just an unusual setup.

Why is there not a gate on the right side? Why is the gate arm hanging out so much when up, and not more straight to 90 degrees?
Just the facts, ma'am.

I plan on showing it activating. (or if you want, it could be a bad gate mech.)
Either way I fixed the stripes on the gate. Also I redrew the lines in pen and erased all pencil marks.

This was done before I was real observant of crossing signals, It was just a placeholder until I could finish the drawing (I have yet to finish it)
