This sign means?
- Railway crossing ✓
- Do not enter
- Local traffic only
- Traffic circle ahead
Answer: A. Railway crossing
This sign means railway crossing: it warns that railway tracks cross the road.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says a railway crossing sign warns that tracks cross the road. It tells you to slow down, look both ways for trains and be ready to stop. Another passage adds that public railway crossings in Ontario are marked with large red and white X signs, so the sign alerts you before you reach the tracks. That meaning matches railway crossing.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Do not enter — The sign is described as a warning about tracks crossing the road, not as a sign telling drivers not to enter.
- C. Local traffic only — The passages describe the sign as a railway warning, not as a rule limiting the road to local traffic.
- D. Traffic circle ahead — The passages describe the sign as a railway warning, not as a warning about a traffic circle ahead.
Remember it
Remember the X: tracks ahead, so slow down, look both ways and be ready to stop.
