Gate is on the wrong side of the road, and the stripes are angled incorrectly.

It is on a divided road. I cant really draw a gate on the other side of the road very well.
I will fix the stripes though.

Thats fine, I mean, you asked for comments.

It's ok, just an unusual setup.

Why is there not a gate on the right side? Why is the gate arm hanging out so much when up, and not more straight to 90 degrees?

I plan on showing it activating. (or if you want, it could be a bad gate mech.)
Either way I fixed the stripes on the gate. Also I redrew the lines in pen and erased all pencil marks.

I made one ages ago

Sorry, didn't know it would be THAT big

Whats up with all the upside down gates? You know thats why the new gate arms are all verticle striped...

This was done before I was real observant of crossing signals, It was just a placeholder until I could finish the drawing (I have yet to finish it)

You could always take the easy way out and use these pre made signal drawings:
