The Level Crossing sign indicates a railway crossing ahead. In Germany, this sign is used to warn drivers that they are approaching a location where a railway line intersects with the road. It usually features a red and white design, often accompanied by additional signs that may specify whether there are lights or gates present.

When you see this sign, you should reduce your speed and be prepared to stop if there are trains approaching. Always look and listen for trains, as they can come at any time, and remember that vehicles must yield to trains at all times.

It is important to pay close attention to any additional signs or signals that may indicate the presence of a train, such as flashing lights or barriers. If barriers are down or lights are flashing, do not attempt to cross the tracks until it is safe. This sign is crucial for ensuring safety on the roads near railway lines.
