Warning signs

Railway crossing (crossbuck)

At the crossing, give way to trains; some crossbuck designs also indicate a single track.

The crossbuck stands at or immediately before the railway crossing itself. Give way to trains and obey any stop signs, lights or barriers.

Poland G-3 identifies a single track with a white cross bordered in red. The United States R15-1 is a white cross with black RAILROAD CROSSING lettering. The US crossbuck itself does not specify the number of tracks.
