Texas Car / Permit practice question · Road Signs
A round, yellow sign with a large black 'X' and two 'R' letters means:
Answer choices
- a road repair crew is working ahead
- two highways are about to merge
- a railroad crossing is ahead— Correct answer
- a rest area is coming up
Why this is the answer
Round signs are used for advance warning of railroad crossings, so a round yellow sign tells you tracks are ahead. Slow down and be ready to stop. Work-zone warnings are orange, not yellow. At a crossing, stop if red lights are flashing, and stay stopped until any train has passed and the lights have stopped flashing.
