If it wasn't for that one weird signal on the eastern side of the crossing, I would think the western side had something to do with the road intersection next to the crossing

Agreed. There is no railroad "control box" at the crossing. All that would have been needed to make those flash 24/7 is a simple flasher module which if I had to guess is probably on this telephone pole under the electric meter: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.4023412 ... 6656?hl=en

The flasher appears to have been located under the lower light on each "signal":

And even that appears to be a modified signal section:
