These signs are used to warn of [[level crossing]]s ahead. In most countries, a red triangle warning sign is used, with various pictograms for unguarded crossings, crossings with manual gates, and automatic level crossings. In most of Europe, an old-style gate is used for a crossing with gates, and a [[steam locomotive]] for a crossing without gates. Germany uses an electric train. Similar pictograms are also used in Ireland, albeit on an amber diamond sign. In the [[United States]] the warning of all types of railway crossings is made using a circular yellow sign. The actual crossing is also marked with crossed "railroad crossing" [[crossbuck]] signs (stop, look, listen) and possibly lights, bells, and [[boom barrier|barrier]]s.
