Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
On a country road, you see a round yellow sign with a black X and the letters R R. What does it tell you?
Correct answer: A railroad crossing is ahead, so slow down, look and listen for trains
Why
At the crossing itself, a white X-shaped crossbuck sign, and sometimes lights and gates, mark the tracks. If the lights flash, a gate comes down or a train is near, Rhode Island law requires you to stop 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail. A train can need about a mile and a half to stop, so it cannot stop for you.
