railroad crossing sign
Track warning indicator
A railroad crossing sign warns drivers that train tracks lie ahead.
The standard design in the United States is a white X-shaped sign with the words RAILROAD CROSSING, often accompanied by crossbuck markers at the tracks themselves.
At busier crossings, flashing lights and gates supplement the signs: We waited at the railroad crossing sign while the freight train passed.
