An automatic half barrier level crossing found at the edge of the urban area around Southport, Merseyside. In total, it has as much as seven sets of wigwags / road traffic lights, and it can be seen on one side that both pairs flash out of sequence with the other pair (even though each individual one in each pair is synced with the other) in the first video. One of the barriers here is also quite slow to lower too.

Thanks for watching!
