Explanation
A round yellow sign featuring a black "X" symbol and the letters "RR" indicates that drivers are approaching a railroad crossing. This is known as a Railroad Advance Warning sign. Drivers should slow down and be ready to stop if they encounter an active warning signal, such as flashing lights or a lowered gate, or if they hear a train approaching. Always exercise caution and be prepared for a train at any railroad crossing.
