How to tell the difference between automatic and remote operated level crossings?

Test fédération OSMF

The wiki page on crossing:activation notes the difference between automatic and remote as so:

  • crossing:activation=automatic - by treadle or contacts detecting a train
  • crossing:activation=remote - remotely operated by railway staff (e.g., signalman)

Firstly, how can a person tell the difference by looking (without e.g. working for the railway)?

Secondly, is that how it has actually been used by mappers?
