This sign means?
- Do not enter
- Railway crossing ✓
- Local traffic only
- Traffic circle ahead
Answer: B. Railway crossing
This sign means railway crossing: it warns that a railway and highway crossing is ahead, so be prepared to stop and yield to trains.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's railway signs section says public railway and highway crossings are marked with signs or pavement markings and may have warning devices. It tells drivers to watch for them and always yield to trains, and it describes the railway crossing ahead sign as a warning to be prepared to stop. That matches the railway crossing meaning, so the sign is warning about a crossing, not about entry, local access or a traffic circle.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Do not enter — Do not enter is a different regulatory message, and the railway sign passages do not give that meaning.
- C. Local traffic only — Local traffic only is about restricted access to a road, not about a railway crossing ahead.
- D. Traffic circle ahead — Traffic circle ahead describes an intersection type, while the passages describe this sign as a railway warning.
Remember it
Pair the sign in your mind with a train: see the warning, slow down, look and listen, and be ready to stop.
