Railway crossings

MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Stopping at railway crossings

Every railway crossing on a public road in Ontario is marked with a large red and white “X” sign. Watch for it, and for yellow advance warning signs and large “X” markings on the pavement ahead of the crossing. Some crossings have flashing signal lights, some have gates or barriers, and some less-travelled ones have stop signs. A train can take up to two kilometres to stop under full emergency braking.
