Well, so far I spot a missing 2-tracks sign, and an upside down gate...

On top of that, the lights don't all flash correctly either... according to PopiBros video:

It doesn't look too bad. The LEDs were a nice touch though. The WCH e-bells on the median signals seem a little redundant though.

Upon further review... my eyes must have been playing tricks on me the other night... for some reason I thought the lights were flashing out of sequence. But looking at the video again, I believe the gate closest had a light out.
Perhaps they should place traffic signals at the crossing as well, and also add a STOP HERE ON RED sign... then paint out in white stripes the area past the crossing to the intersection. It's not going to stop the impatient drivers from queuing up close to the intersection, but perhaps it would give a better appearance that it's a bad idea to get caught between the crossing at intersection... and to just go ahead and drive through if caught by the yellow.
Well, :Censored:
