Level crossing signs
Advance warning of light signals at a level crossing with or without a gate or barrier
What it means
The crossing ahead is worked by signals: a steady amber first, then twin flashing reds. Stop on the amber unless you have already crossed the white line - if you have, keep going and clear the crossing. You MUST obey the flashing reds, and if they keep flashing after a train passes, another is coming.
