  • What city in Japan is this?

  • Most crossings in Australia just have the one bell, so it stays on until the gates start opening. But in the past, I remember some had two bells, and one would stop ringing once the gates were closed. The other kept ringing.

    I've seen videos of US crossings where the bell/s stop completely once the gates are closed. In Queensland most crossings don't have bells at all. In NZ some don't ring at night.

  • You are correct.

    Some bells in the USA turn off when the gates are closed.

    Don't know why because bells are supposedly for pedestrians and many sidewalks are not blocked by gates.

    So it could be a problem for blind pedestrians.

  • They may get softer, but in other videos, especially wider ones, it seems more like one bell simply turns off. I know that mechanical bells did that at some crossings here in Australia in the past, and I've seen evidence to suggest it happens in at some locations the US and other countries too.

    Yes, I noticed the cyclist do a U-turn, apparently just to watch the train go by. :)

    And why not? I've also been known to do the same.

  • Yes, now that there is less background noise here, at 1:00 it sounds as though the bell volume gets softer when all the gates are closed.

    That child on the bicycle reminds me of me.

    Apparently rode up to the crossing to watch the signals and train.

  • My guess would be that the 'bell' on one side of the crossing turns off once the gates are down.

  • Nice steady video.

    (Glad truck didn't stop in your way.)

    Once the gates lower, does the electronic bell sound at a lower volume?

    Thank you
