Question 459 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A white double X shape with red outlines, two overlapping crosses stacked vertically, with pointed red tips at the end of each arm. Meaning: Level crossing, more than one track.
  1. You are approaching a train station.
  2. Level-crossing with train traffic in both directions.
  3. Careful! railway barrier.
  4. Correct answer: Level crossing, more than one track.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Level crossing, more than one track.

A double X-shaped sign stands at a level crossing with more than one track, while a single X marks a crossing with one track. With several tracks, one train can hide another approaching on a neighbouring track. So never cross until you are sure every track is clear, even after one train has passed. The sign says nothing about train directions or a barrier.
