There are similiarities and differences between Japan and the USA from what I saw in this video. In the USA we do have signals with the four quadrant gate systems. These are becoming more common. We also have flashing lights, although they are mostly horizontal (no vertical pair), and while residential vehicles are not required to stop when the gates are up, most commercial vehicles such as buses, semi-trucks, school buses, larger trucks, 15 passenger vans, etc are.

Note if there is another train coming the arrows in this case will display the direction of the incoming train/trains please remain stopped until both trains have passed I’m aware that people know this but just an fyi

Most railroad crossings in america mostly aren't closed but only a few are closed.

An obstacle detection system might be a supplement to them, but UK quad gates are fully manual (usually involving CCTV), meaning they have to be fully closed and approved as clear by a human before the train is allowed to approach/cross. This is what gives such a long wait time to these kinds of crossings.

Fully automatic British crossings use a partial gate system with only single gates either side, so that any trapped vehicle or person can easily leave, so there's no need to have several minutes of waiting to satisfy the control centre for modern quad gate crossings.

One notable exception to the "stop" rule is when a traffic signal, usually marked "踏切信号" or "踏切用", is showing a green signal. However, this is only usually done if there is an extenuating circumstance, such as if grade separation is impractical.

Here in the US the some crossing bells stop when gates are down and lights and/or bell stays on until all of the gates are up and there is no other trains

Interesting how that a railroad crossing sign 🪧 is treated like a stop 🛑 sign 🪧

I hope to go to Japan someday before all the Railroad Crossings there go away.

I live in japan although the temporary stop makes traffic the train comes very fast as soon as the bars are down the train comes quickly and the level crossing is super fast in japan at a safe level the bars come up as soon as the train passes which is what he got wrong

In Indonesia We have PJL (Penjaga Jalan Lintasan)
Penjaga Jalan Lintasan means Track Road Guard
some people (like me) just call them Penjaga Perlintasan (ENG : Crossing Guards)

In Indonesia we don't use sensors because PJL is more safer than any Automatic Railroad Crossing (some auto railroad crossing is safe)

Compulsory stops seem to make any alarms or lights redundant.
