Stumbled upon this by accident. Looks like he's changing a bulb. What are the odds?

Somehow, I can't help but seeing an accident there, given the very short amount of space between the tracks and the intersection.

They are huge and ugly. What more can we say? Would make GREAT targets!

Better watch out, next thing you know someone will change the MUTCD and mandate only 12" lights on gates too... just because some bureaucrat thinks it's safer.

Really, you mean you don't even think the lightbar type LED's that were on the EVA gate installs won't catch on either? Hey, if anyone from Safetran is reading... or the FRA... CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!!
J/K.

hey, at least the gate in that picture isn't upside down. Those kind of gate lights remind me of the ones in the Netherlands.
