Crossbuck Sign

This sign is often found at a railroad crossing.

What it means

Crossbuck signs indicate that there is a railroad crossing. Drivers should treat these signs like yield signs. If a train is approaching, drivers should stop and wait for it to pass instead of speeding up to drive across the railroad. A train always has the right of way because it's difficult for them to swerve or stop quickly when there is a chance of collision.

Heads Up

  • Drivers should treat a crossbuck sign like a yield sign.
  • Drivers should slow down and watch out for trains at passive railroad crossings.
  • A train always has the right of way because it's difficult for them to swerve or stop quickly when there is a chance of collision.
