Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
You pass this round yellow sign with a black X and the letters RR on a country road. What should you do as you go on?
Correct answer: Slow down, look and listen for trains, and be ready to stop
Why
The round yellow sign comes before a crossing so that you have time to slow down. At the crossing, stop 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail when lights flash, a gate is down, a flagger signals, a stop sign is posted, or a train is near. Trains always have the right-of-way, and a train can need up to a mile to stop.
