Is there a sign telling how many tracks are at the crossing on the crossbuck or gate at the railroad crossing?

- So called "crossbuck" signs have the words "RAILROAD" and "CROSSING" in black and white assembled in a large "X" configuration.
- If there is more than one set of tracks this sign will also tell how many tracks there are on a separate sign below the crossbuck.
- As you approach, look and listen for an approaching train. The crossbuck sign means the same as a yield sign, which means that if a train is approaching you must yield and let the train pass. A recently enacted state law will require that a YIELD sign be placed below the crossbuck sign at crossings that do not have stop signs or red flashing light signals. This is being done to further emphasize that a crossbuck sign means that you must yield to trains

Do not stop on railroad tracks or within feet of the crossing?

How can you determine how Many tracks are at a railroad crossing?
The track indicator
Do not stop on railroad tracks or within how many feet of the crossing?
You must stop within 50 feet but no closer than 15 feet of the railroad crossing. Never stop on railroad tracks or go when the gate is down.
Is it illegal to walk on the side of railroad tracks?
Yes it is illegal and also dangerous to walk along the side of railroad tracks. Many people walking to close to the tracks have been hit and killed by oncoming trains. Further it is considered trespassing to walk anywhere on the railroad right of way outside of crossing the tracks at an established grade crossing.
Do railroad tracks present any problems for motorcyclists?
Railroad tracks can cause problems for motorcycles. In some situations if a motorcycle is ridden on the tracks at a crossing it can cause an accident. Motorcycles should cross railroad tracks as perpendicular to the rails as possible to avoid problems.
If you are stopped at a crossing where there is more than one set of tracks before you start across?
CROSSBUCK SIGN Crossbuck signs are found at highway-rail intersections. They are yield signs. You are legally required to yield the right-of-way to trains. Slow down, look and listen for a train, and stop if a train approaches. Railroad crossbuck signs are found at most crossings. If there is more than one track, the sign below the crossbuck will show the number of tracks at the crossing FLASHING RED LIGHT SIGNALS At many highway-rail crossings, the crossbuck sign has flashing red lights and bells. When the lights begin to flash, stop! A train is approaching. DO NOT STOP ON THE TRACKS OR WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE CROSSING. If there is more than one track, make sure all tracks are clear before crossing. Do not move forward until you can do so safely. In heavy traffic make sure there is room for your vehicle on the other side before starting to cross. GATES Many crossings have gates with flashing red lights and bells. Stop when the lights begin to flash and before the gate lowers across your road lane. If the gates are down, the road is closed. It is against the law to drive around or under a crossing gate, either down or being opened or closed. Do not move forward until the gates are raised and the lights stop flashing as there may be a train approaching on an adjacent track.

What is the safeest railroad crossing?
The one that doesn't exist. Now, let me add some explanation. A railroad crossing can be counted as a bridge crossing as well, thus that is the safest way to cross cars and people over train tracks.
What is the speed limit when you come 100 feet of a rail road crossing and you cannot see the tracks for 400 feet in both directions?
The speed limit is 15 MPH when a person comes with in 100 feet of a railroad crossing and can not see the tracks for 400 feet in both directions. If there is a flag person at a railroad crossing the car must stop 15 to 50 feet from railroad.
If you touch a car window when crossing a railroad tracks that good luck?
Most assuredly. That's superstition.
