If there is more than one track, a sign below the cross buck indicates the number of tracks.

Darting across as the lights start puts you on the tracks with a train only seconds away.

Always stop when the lights begin to flash. This means that a train is coming.

At a crossing with gates, stop when the lights begin to flash and stay stopped until the gates are raised and the lights stop flashing.
