Railroadcrossing sign with lights

Railroad crossing signs are designed to alert drivers of railroad tracks ahead. Drivers must be aware of any approaching trains from both directions and be prepared to stop, if necessary. This sign is a passive sign, compared to an active sign, such as the traffic control devices or lights at the train crossing. Trains may pass through any time of the day or night, so drivers must not stop on train tracks to avoid any potential collisions.
