Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You come to a railroad crossing that has this sign: a white X-shaped sign that reads RAILROAD CROSSING, with a YIELD sign below it. The crossing has no lights and no gate. What does this sign require of you?
Correct answer: Slow down, look and listen both ways, and stop if a train is near.
Why
A train cannot stop quickly or swerve, and it is closer and faster than it seems. Crossings without lights or gates depend fully on the driver, so look both ways even if you know the crossing. Below the crossbuck, a small sign can show the number of tracks; check every track before you cross.
