Which sign indicates a level crossing without barrier or gate ahead?

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

Answer: (D)

The sign tests your understanding of level crossings and how they differ based on barriers. A level crossing without barrier or gate ahead warns that you’re approaching a railway crossing where there are no barriers to physically stop you. Because of that, you must slow down, look and listen carefully for approaching trains, and be prepared to stop if signals or warning devices indicate a train is nearby. Extra caution is essential since there is no barrier to hold you back automatically. The other signs point to unrelated hazards—tunnels, overhead electric cables, and pedestrians crossing—so they’re not about level crossings.
