You approach a white X-shaped sign that reads RAILROAD CROSSING. There are no gates or flashing lights. What does this sign tell you?
Correct answer: The tracks are here; look both ways and yield to any train
Why
A train cannot stop quickly, and its speed is hard to judge, so the driver must always give way. If lights flash, a gate is down, or a train is close, Nevada law requires you to stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest track and wait until you can go safely. Never drive around a lowered gate. Where there is more than one track, wait for a clear view in both directions before you start across.
