This sign (railroad crossing) is a warning that you are approaching:

  1. An intersection
  2. A crosswalk
  3. A railroad crossing ✓
  4. A blasting zone

Answer: C. A railroad crossing

This sign warns you that you are approaching a railroad crossing.

Why this is the answer

The manual describes the yellow sign with the black "RR" and "X" as a railroad crossing warning: it tells you a crossing is ahead, so use caution and be prepared to stop. That matches what the question asks the sign is warning you about. The passage does not describe this sign as marking an intersection, a crosswalk, or a blasting zone.

Why the other answers are wrong

Remember it

Think "RR" and "X": rails are ahead, so be ready to stop.
