Railway Level Crossing Sign
Railway-crossing warnings precede level crossings; the St Andrew’s cross marks the crossing point. You may never queue across the tracks. See Stopping and Parking.
Meaning
Red-bordered triangle (train/fence symbol); an X-shaped cross marks the crossing itself.
Required driver response
Slow, look both ways, stop if a train is approaching, and never stop on the tracks.
Question patterns
- “What does this sign mean?” — recognition of meaning.
- “What must you do when you see this sign?” — required response.
- Distractor trap: confusing the duties at a controlled (boom/lights) crossing with an uncontrolled one.
