Regulatory sign
Railroad Crossbuck Sign
The crossbuck marks the crossing itself and carries the same legal force as a yield sign: trains always have the right of way.
What to do
Slow, look both ways, and listen. Where a plate below shows more than one track, expect a second train from either direction after the first has cleared.
