Lane Position, Following & Intersections

A black-and-white crossbuck sign marked with an X and the words for a railroad crossing, often with flashing lights, means:

  • A.A scenic overlook is ahead
  • B.You may cross the tracks at full speed
  • C.A rest area is nearby
  • D.A railroad crossing is ahead — slow down, look both ways, and be prepared to stop
Correct answer

D. A railroad crossing is ahead — slow down, look both ways, and be prepared to stop

Why

The crossbuck identifies a railroad crossing, and flashing lights or gates mean a train is approaching. Look both ways, never stop on the tracks, and never go around lowered gates.
