Do Not Stop on Tracks sign

Used where traffic queues could back up onto the tracks.

What to do

Never stop on the tracks. Wait before the crossing until there is room on the other side.

Before you start across, make sure there is room for your whole vehicle on the far side of the tracks.

Where it's used

Section 8B.07 says a DO NOT STOP ON TRACKS (R8-8) sign should be used where vehicle queues are likely to back up onto the tracks, such as where a STOP sign, signal or roundabout lies just beyond the crossing. It is a vertical black-on-white regulatory sign (24 x 30 inches), normally on the right on the near or far side of the crossing, whichever is more visible. It may be placed on both sides of the track and on the left side of divided or one-way roads.

Don't confuse it with

Do Not Block Intersection: DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION applies to a road intersection, while this sign applies to railroad tracks.
Stop Here When Flashing: STOP HERE WHEN FLASHING shows where to stop when the crossing lights flash; this sign forbids stopping on the tracks at any time.
Railroad Crossing (Crossbuck): The Crossbuck marks the crossing and requires yielding to trains.
