Railway Crossing Advance Warning Sign

A yellow circle with an X and 'RR' warns that a railway crossing is ahead — prepare to slow or stop.

What This Sign Means

This is the only round warning sign in common use, posted well before the tracks so you have time to slow down. The crossbuck marks the tracks themselves.

What You Should Do

Reduce speed, scan ahead for the crossing, and be prepared to stop. In winter, remember tracks are often icier than the surrounding road.
