A travels toward a railroad crossing with a crossbuck before the tracks. No parked position or distance bracket is shown.

Why
A car parked near the tracks can block the view of drivers who look for trains. It can also be hit by a train or block a crossing in an emergency. Never park or stop on the tracks themselves.
