You come to this sign at a railroad crossing that has no gates and no flashing lights. What does it require you to do?
Correct answer: Treat it like a yield sign: slow down, look and listen, and stop if a train is coming
Why
When there is more than one track, a sign below the crossbuck shows the number of tracks. If you must stop for a train, stop at least 15 feet from the nearest rail. A train is closer and faster than it looks, and it cannot stop quickly.
