The train whistle or the red warning lights flashing is the first warning signal of an approaching train on a level crossing. At many railroad crossings, the stop arm would be blocking access to crossing the tracks.
When approaching the Zebra Crossing you have to reduce speed, put your hazard lights, signal your intensions to stop. Then take off when the pedestrians have crossed
That would be a school crossing guard.
the difference is that you have to wait to cross a pelican crossing, but a school crossing, someone just stands in the middle of the road and stops cars and lets you cross quicker. Pelican crossing: traffic lights for pedestrians and vehicles; button-operated. http://stretsmartsigns.com
well the advantages of a school crossing is that you can get to the other side. But the disadvantages is that some cars don't stop at all.
policemen Also, stop signs and traffic circles (or "roundabouts") - altho they don't stop traffic, they perform the same function. From @MunicipalSigns: A pedestrian crossing sign (especially in California). A School Crossing zone. A railway crossing zone (Circular yellow sign with "RR" and "X")
Kambe Signal Stop was created in 1930.
Kambe Signal Stop ended in 1944.
A police officer can signal traffic to stop by using hand signals or using their patrol vehicle's emergency lights and siren. They may extend their arm out to the side with their palm facing the traffic, indicating that it should stop. They may also use their police vehicle's lights and sirens to grab the attention of the drivers and indicate they need to stop.
It depends which country you're in. In the UK, they are synchronised with the track lights. As a train approaches the lights close to the crossing, they trigger the stop signals to halt the traffic, and power electric motors to close the crossing gates. Once the train passes the next signal lights after the crossing, they trigger the crossing indicators to go out, and retract the gates to allow traffic to move again.
