Railroad Crossing Signs and Signals
The railroad advance sign (Fig. A) has a special shape to give you
advance warning that a railroad crossing is ahead. It means look, listen,
and slow down because you may have to stop. Remember: A train may
come at any time! Pay attention to crossing signals and obey them.
A railroad crossbuck assembly (Fig. B) is a regulatory sign used at
the crossing itself. It has the same meaning as the YIELD or STOP sign
displayed. If there is more than one track, a sign below the crossbuck
indicates the number of tracks.
Some crossings also have gates with the fl ashing red lights (Fig. C).
Stop before the gates lower across your side of the road. Do not try to
beat the gates or go around gates that have lowered or are going up. It is
against the law and dangerous to go around a gate or cross the tracks when
a signal is fl ashing.
Route, Guide, and Information Signs
Route signs show you
which route you are on and
if the road is an interstate
highway, U.S. route, or
