What sign indicates an uncontrolled railroad crossing?
Any grade crossing that has no warning devices, signs, or anything... or even one that is malfunctioning has the train stop or slow down for it. A conductor will either get off and flag the crossing by stopping cars and letting the train through with a flag or a flare will be lit and cast into the roadway.

In each case, it was because they ignored or took a chance and ignored the red flashing warning light.
