I tried a quick Google search in the e-Bay G-scale trains area using the phrase 'Road Crossing Gates' but came up with nothing.  E-bay said no items were found in G-scale, but showed lots of crossing gates in other scales.

You might find that some "O" gauge items are oversized and will work in "G".   I found an overhead signal bridge by MTH that is for "O" but I mounted the side towers on small wood blocks (Painted to resemble concrete) to get it a wee bit taller and it looks very nice.  I also have a Semifore signal tower that is way oversized for "O", even though that is what it is marketed as, but looks quite nice with "G" trains.

Have you checked out South Bend Signal Company?  They have an ad in the April 2015 issue of Garden Railways magazine, on page 69.  Their website is sbsignal.com.

Have managed to find a set of gates made by Bachman under their "Big Hauler" label. Item No.96214 "Large Scale Dual Crossing Gates" not sure if they are still making these. The set I found were brand new in the box and very reasonably priced here in the UK. Hope this helps.
