Source: RVV 1990 annex 1 · checked 2026-10-23

Shape and colour

Double white St Andrew's cross with red tips: a level crossing with two or more tracks, right at the track.

Where the sign stands

Directly before the track, on the right (often also on the left), at the stop line or the barrier.

What the exam asks about this sign

The question is how many tracks you cross: two or more; after a passing train a second one may come from the other direction. So wait until the lights are off, not until the first train has passed. Trap: candidates read the double cross as 'two crossings'.
