Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You drive up to a railroad crossing on a country road. The crossing has only this white X-shaped sign with the words RAILROAD CROSSING. It has no lights, no gates and no STOP sign. What does this sign require of you?
Correct answer: Slow down, look and listen both ways, and stop if a train is coming
Why
This white X-shaped sign stands at the crossing itself, while the round yellow RR sign warns earlier that a crossing is ahead. At a crossing with no lights or gates, only your own eyes and ears warn you of a train, so slow down enough to look well in both directions. Never stop on the tracks, and never try to beat a train across.
