Zapornice are not necessarily a water gate. This word can mean:
1) "premična priprava, ki onemogoča prehod: dvigniti, spustiti zapornico na cesti; zapornica na mejnem prehodu" - GATE
2) "naprava v obliki dveh drogov, ki ob križanju ceste in železniške proge v vodoravni legi onemogoča prehod čez železniško progo" - BARRIERS.
