Which sign indicates a level crossing with barrier or gate ahead?

• A. Level Crossing Without Barrier Or Gate Ahead
• B. Overhead Electric Cable
• C. Level Crossing With Barrier Or Gate Ahead
• D. Tunnel Ahead

Answer: (C)

This sign warns you that there is a level crossing ahead and that it has barriers or gates. Knowing barriers or gates may descend to stop traffic helps you adjust your driving approach: slow down, look and listen for trains, and be ready to stop if the red lights flash or if barriers begin to descend. It’s about the specific feature of the crossing—the presence of barriers or gates—so you know to expect a controlled crossing. Other signs point to different hazards, like an overhead electric cable or a tunnel, or to a level crossing that has no barriers; they don’t indicate the barrier/gate setup, so they aren’t the correct warning for this scenario.
