Where:
On any road where a railway line intersects with the roadway, either at a level crossing or near train tracks.
These signs are common in both urban and rural areas.
Purpose:
To warn drivers that a railway crossing is ahead, indicating that trains may pass through the road at this point.
The sign serves as a precaution to reduce the risk of collisions between vehicles and trains.
Action:
Slow down as you approach the crossing.
Look carefully to your right and left for any approaching trains.
Be prepared to stop immediately if a train is coming. Obey any additional signals, barriers, or warning lights present at the crossing.
Never attempt to cross if the gates are closing, or if a train is already visible, even if the road appears clear ahead.
Always ensure it is safe before proceeding.
