Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
At a railroad crossing, you see this sign: a white X-shaped sign with the words RAILROAD CROSSING. There are no lights or gates. What should you do?

Correct answer: Slow, look and listen both ways, and stop if a train is near.
Why
If you must stop for a train, stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail. Some vehicles, such as buses and trucks with hazardous loads, must always stop at crossings, so be ready to stop behind them. A train can need a mile and a half to stop.
