ABSTRACT:
A railroad crossing gate has an arm that is capable of swivelling axially when a force is applied, rather than breaking. The gate arm is substantially resistant to breakage caused by high winds and contact with the tops of vehicles. In addition, a broken gate arm is easier to replace than in a traditional railroad crossing gate. In a preferred embodiment, the improved gate arm is attached to the gate mechanism through a swivel bracket, and is maintained in a preferred orientation by gravity.
