What is a crossbuck sign?

A crossbuck is the X-shaped sign at railroad crossings that reads 'RAILROAD CROSSING.' It's legally the same as a yield sign — you must look for trains and be ready to stop.

Is a crossbuck the same as a yield sign?

Yes, a crossbuck sign has the same legal meaning as a yield sign. You must slow down, look for trains, and stop if a train is approaching. You don't have to stop if no train is coming (unless you drive certain commercial vehicles).

What does the number on a crossbuck sign mean?

A small sign below the crossbuck showing a number (like '2 TRACKS') tells you how many sets of railroad tracks cross the road. This means a second train could be coming from either direction.

Crossbuck Belgisi

Crossbuck belgisi — temir yo'l kesishmasida o'rnatilgan ikonik X shaklidagi belgi. U "RAILROAD" va "CROSSING" so'zlari yozilgan ikkita oq taxtadan iborat bo'lib, X shaklida kesishadi. Crossbuck belgisi qonuniy jihatdan yo'l berish belgisiga tengdir — siz sekinlashishingiz, ikki tomonga qarashingiz va yaqinlashayotgan poyezdga to'xtashga tayyor bo'lishingiz kerak. Agar bir nechta iz bo'lsa, crossbuck ostidagi kichik belgi izlar sonini ko'rsatadi, bu muhimdir, chunki birinchi poyezd o'tgandan ko'p o'tmay ikkinchi poyezd boshqa yo'nalishdan kelishi mumkin. Crossbuck belgilari ham faol, ham passiv temir yo'l kesishmalarida uchraydi. Faol kesishmalarda poyezd yaqinlashganda pastga tushadigan miltillovchi qizil chiroqlar va to'siqlar ham bor. Passiv kesishmalar — faqat crossbuck va ehtimol oldindan ogohlantirish belgisi bo'lgan joylar — poyezd kelayotganini aniqlash uchun to'liq o'z kuzatuvingizga tayanishni talab qiladi. Passiv kesishmalarda ikki tomonga qarang, poyezd signalini eshiting va izlardagi tebranish yoki harakatni kuzating. Hech qachon poyezdga kesishmaga yetishish uchun poyushib o'tmang. Agar to'siqlar tushirilgan bo'lsa, ularni aylanib o'tmang — boshqa izda ikkinchi poyezd yaqinlashayotgan bo'lishi mumkin.

Rules & What to Do

Crossbuckni yo'l berish belgisi sifatida qabul qiling — sekinlashing va ikki tomonga qarang. Poyezd yaqinlashayotgan bo'lsa, chiroqlar miltillayotgan bo'lsa yoki to'siqlar tushirilgan bo'lsa to'xtang. Ko'p izli kesishmalarda davom etishdan oldin ikki tomonga ham aniq ko'ra olguningizcha kuting. Tushirilgan to'siqlarni hech qachon aylanib o'tmang.

Penalties

Crossbuckda yo'l bermaslik yoki tushirilgan to'siqlarni aylanib o'tish $200–$500+ miqdorida jarima va haydovchilik guvohnomangizga 3–6 ball qo'shilishi bilan natijalanadishi mumkin. Ko'plab shtatlar temir yo'l kesishmasi buzilishlari uchun majburiy sud ko'rinishi yoki guvohnoma to'xtatilishini belgilaydi.

For Commercial Drivers

Ba'zi tijorat transport vositalari poyezd ko'rinmasa ham barcha temir yo'l kesishmalarida to'xtashlari shart: yo'lovchilar bilan avtobuslar, xavfli materiallar tashuvchi transport vositalar va yuk sisterna transport vositalari (yuklangan yoki bo'sh). Eng yaqin izdan 15 dan 50 fut masofada to'xtang. Poyezdlarni eshitish uchun shovqinli uskunalarni o'chiring. Agar to'xtashi shart bo'lmagan transport vositani haydayotgan bo'lsangiz ham, sekinlashing va diqqat bilan qarang — poyezd va tijorat transport vositasi o'rtasidagi to'qnashuv halokatli bo'lishi mumkin.
