The road approaching the crossing is perpendicular to the gates (look at 
the line between far left gatepost, near left gatepost, and turf 
embankment behind the car). The car is parked 30 degrees skew from the 
side of the road, and the sign is at least 80 degrees skewed.

But please note, this is not the view the driver got. No-one has yet 
produced a picture from the other side.
