crossing gates
Railroad warning arms
Crossing gates are barriers that lower across a roadway to stop traffic when a train approaches.
They work in pairs on either side of the tracks, typically with flashing lights and warning bells.
The gates rise automatically after the train passes.
We waited at the crossing gates for what felt like forever.
