Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
This white X-shaped sign stands at a railroad crossing that has no lights or gates. What does it require of you?

Correct answer: Treat it as a yield sign and give way to any train.
Why
The white X-shaped crossbuck works like a yield sign, and trains always have the right-of-way. Slow down, look both ways along the tracks and listen, and stop 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail if a train is coming or can be heard. Never assume a train is not coming, even at a crossing where you have never seen one.
