Why don't they just set up quad gates while there at it. :LOL3:
LOL... looks like they had some high hopes for development on the other side of that crossing... with plans to widen the entrance road there at some point.

That reminds me of the Louise Avenue crossing here in my town:

It's been like that for 6+ years.

Haven't been able to find an active crossing for awhile, but found one today:

If you move forward and look at the cantilever, the lights are mounted off center. Kind of odd because they are normal on the opposite one.

Not an active crossing unfortunately... but quite an odd installation:

Active crossing with classic cantilevers. Also, check out the old Texaco gas station sign... with a modern electronic message board attached to it.

I think I found an active signal in Huntsville. I'm not sure though. :/
Because the link wasn't working right, Here is a screen shot of the signal in question:
They/Them for me, please.
