An Skewed Crossing Symbol Railroad Sign is MUTCD compliant for traffic and pedestrian safety compliance. An Skewed Crossing Symbol Railroad Sign is a helpful resource to help protect the drivers and pedestrians on public roadways, private drives, and parking lots.
Compliance
Section 8B.25 Skewed Crossing Sign
Option
The Skewed Crossing (W10-12) sign may be used at a skewed grade crossing to warn road users that the tracks are not perpendicular to the highway.
Option
If the Skewed Crossing sign is used, the symbol should show the direction of the crossing (near left to far right as shown in Figure 8B-4, or the mirror image if the track goes from far left to near right). If the Skewed Crossing sign is used where the angle of the crossing is significantly different than 45 degrees, the symbol should show the approximate angle of the crossing.
Standard
The Skewed Crossing sign shall not be used as a replacement for the required Advance Warning (W10-1) sign. If used, the Skewed Crossing sign shall supplement the W10-1 sign and shall be mounted on a separate post.
