true
How does the crossing gates sense a train is coming?
It depends which country you're in. In the UK, they are synchronised with the track lights. As a train approaches the lights close to the crossing, they trigger the stop signals to halt the traffic, and power electric motors to close the crossing gates. Once the train passes the next signal lights after the crossing, they trigger the crossing indicators to go out, and retract the gates to allow traffic to move again.

What is a railroad crossing controlled by flashing lights and or crossing gates?
Active crossing. A highway-railroad grade crossing that has flashing lights with or without crossing gates is called an "active railroad crossing". This is because it is activated automatically by the approach of a train, and shut off as the train passes. In the US, there are crossings that may use flashing lights that are not activated automatically, but nearly all were retired in the US by 1990. The watchman controlled flashing light grade crossing in southern New Jersey made headlines when it was retired in 1990, as the last of its kind in the country.
