When I was passing by this variable message sign in Goldach today it was turning. The other position has a green label 'geöffnet' and the way to Rorschacherberg is indicated ahead instead of to the right.
Turns out the level crossing ahead is often closed for more than 5min, so it makes sense for drivers to divert in that case. After frequent traffic jams they installed this sign.
Not sure what I think about it, but I wanted to share as I've never seen this anywhere before.
