Or is there another location for this?

Perhaps trucks could hit this cantilever:

Does the middle large lamp read

They have only one (o)T(o) facing forward while two (o)T(o) facing rearward.

Track partially comes out onto the road. Look around.

No. The Road comes into the rail. The Question is, do trains have to stop at the red light, or do the autos have to be FRA certified to use that lane ?

Yes, you are correct.

Notice the red octagon stop sign for the train!
I would think the engineer could see the traffic signal and continue without stopping because the system will detect the train and change the signal to red.

I have not looked from the opposite direction to see if there is a train signal indicating thathe traffic signals have cycled to red.
Buthengineer would be able to see when traffic has stopped.

I have a lunar signal head which was mounted athe top of the main mast of a cantilever grade crossing signal. It was aimedown the track. The crossing was at such an angle thathe windows in the crossing signalamps could not be seen by the train crew.
I pressume thathe lunar signal was connected to one of the (o)T(o) circuits.

Oxnard, CA Only one signal. Gate faces away.

Oxnard, CA. Dislike the traffic signal arms, but makes sense.

Folding gate.

Are there any "normal" signals in this town? I'm just curious: what rr is this?

 

[Robert Gift]

One single (o)T(o) on the opposite side of the track

East of Lewistown, Pennsylvania
As with wig-wag signals, which often were just one signal at a grade crossing, to be most equitable you place the single signal on your left on your side of the track.

No round (RXR) sign because they call "railway" | (o)=(o) over sidewalk

We'll start with not necessarily weird, but "why is this here?" in Wheeler, Oregon

Next, 8th Street in Vancouver with an illuminated "S" "T" "O" "P" light assembly. Sadly, this signal has been recently replaced.

This one is only weird because it's the only known instance of a "Stop on Red Signal" sign in Oregon. North Portland Road, on the Peninsula Terminal Railroad.

Here's a lot of signals for one intersection - Beaverton, Oregon, at the intersection of Lombard, Beaverton-Hillsdale and Farmington. Also where the WES spur to Beaverton Transit Center splits from the P&W OE District.

A block to the north, Lombard and Broadway. Notice the flashers mounted on the traffic signal mast arm.

And another block north at Lombard & Canyon Road. This one has mast arms specifically for the railroad flashers.

One of the last two operable wig-wags in the Portland metro area, at a private crossing near the Sellwood Bridge for the Willamette Shores Trolley. (Not including a wig-wag at the Oregon Zoo.)

No flashers, just some illuminated "no turn" signs for this private crossing on the Oregon Pacific Railroad on the Portland/Milwaukie city line.

Crossing signal in an island in Toledo, Oregon, due to the sharp angle of the crossing.

View of the signal for the opposite direction of traffic in Toledo.

Aumsville, Oregon - Crossing of Oregon 22 (which is a freeway at this point) and the Willamette Valley Railroad.

Here's the westbound onramp onto 22, with its own crossing.

Wow! Thanks, wigwag.

Low mee-mool lights in Cañon City, Colorado:

Crossbuck sign poorly placed

Many drivers stop at the sign.
Should be placed at the STOP LINE painted on the pavement:

Mee-mool lights (o)T(o) mounted on streetlight pole

How low is that wire hanging?
