Another active crossing here:

This one appears to be malfunctioning:

The signal on the other side of the road appears it is a little too close to the road:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.8484036 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.8480105 ... 6656?hl=en

Yup... another active one:

Wait... there's more!

Whoops! Guessing wind damage?
