Active crossing in Corona, California:

Bad place to put a pole.

I don't see a reason why there needs to be gated signals and a median.

To prevent people from going around the gates.

Check out the lone pedestrian signal a little down the way...

It had a matching partner on the other side of the road going the opposite direction:

By the way... none of the above is here anymore. This is what is looks like today:

You'd think those crossings would have two crossbucks on the signal or at least another crossbuck on a post on the other side of the crossing.

Sure is odd! I got to use the underpass this morning. The gates were on their way down for a train when I approached. My first thought was since I was on the way to work, then I saw the guy in front of me dip down the little access way, so I followed him.

Hmmm... those look familiar.

Agreed. My guess is the bike path (or whatever it was) was meant to be one way... since they had a path on each side of the road. But you know for a fact people probably didn't pay attention to that.

An NS crossing in rural Tennessee that has managed to keep it's 8 inch lights.

Odd looking, but I understand why they did it.

I'm assuming this is a downgrade in Chattanooga:

Check out the old split crossbuck and cateye SORS sign in Memphis, TN:

Unfortunately this year the crossbuck was replaced:
