What it means
Indicates the approach of a train and the driver of a vehicle shall stop his/her vehicle and shall not proceed until the signals cease to flash, and it is safe to do so. Stop your vehicle and wait for the train to pass. Proceed only when the signals are off.
What to do
- Stop behind the line the moment the signal activates.
- Stay stopped until the signal fully clears, even if you see no train.
In the K53 test
The signal outranks your eyes: trains arrive faster and quieter than they appear. Moving off between trains is the trap.
Where you will see it
At a railway level crossing controlled by signals.
