The tag crossing:barrier=* is used to specify which type of gates the railway level crossing has.
How to map
Use the tag on a node 
. The node should be shared between the highway and railway.
railway=level_crossing/railway=crossingobligatorycrossing:barrier=*the type of barrierscrossing:barrier=no- no barrierscrossing:barrier=full- full-width barrierscrossing:barrier=double_half- two half-width barriers on each approach, barring both the entry and exitcrossing:barrier=half- a half-width barrier on each approach, barring the entry but leaving the exit freecrossing:barrier=gate- gatescrossing:barrier=yes- barriers (to use when you do not know a more precise value)
Sidewalks and cycle lanes
When the value for the roadway is half, but the sidewalks or cycle lanes have barriers on both approaches:
crossing:barrier:footway=full- sidewalkscrossing:barrier:cycleway=full- cycle lanes
Of course, when the sidepaths are mapped as separate 
ways, do not use these tags. Instead, add the barrier information on their crossing nodes.
