What does railroad crossing mean?

A railroad crossing is where the railway tracks cross over a road. It is where a driver of a vehicle must take heed of warning lights that a train is approaching, and the driver must wait until it is safe to proceed over the crossing. In Britain, all railway crossings are either gated or have a barrier, both being automated.


What do flashing red lights at railroad crossings mean?

All US states require that you stop prior to entering the crossing, and a train is approaching the crossing. If there are also crossing gates, you must not go through the crossing when the gates are either being lowered or raised. If there are no gates, you are allowed to proceed through the crossing after stopping only after you have looked and determined no train is approaching and it is safe to cross. If there are gates, you are not allowed to go around the gates legally unless a railroad employee or a police officer instructs you that it is safe to do so.

Is there a sign telling how many tracks are at the crossing on the crossbuck or gate at the railroad crossing?

Crossbuck signsSo called "crossbuck" signs have the words "RAILROAD" and "CROSSING" in black and white assembled in a large "X" configuration.If there is more than one set of tracks this sign will also tell how many tracks there are on a separate sign below the crossbuck.As you approach, look and listen for an approaching train. The crossbuck sign means the same as a yield sign, which means that if a train is approaching you must yield and let the train pass. A recently enacted state law will require that a YIELD sign be placed below the crossbuck sign at crossings that do not have stop signs or red flashing light signals. This is being done to further emphasize that a crossbuck sign means that you must yield to trains
