What should you do?
Slow down, look both ways along the track and listen for trains before crossing, and stop if a train is approaching.
How to recognise it
Yellow diamond with a section of railway track crossed by a large black X.
Common confusion
The gate symbol marks a guarded crossing; the X over the track means nothing physically blocks the road.
