Which of these signs stand for a level crossing?

Signs that show the position of a railway level crossing will be shown on a yellow diamond. These can indicate that the crossing is ahead of you at a certain angle, on a minor side road, or on a major road after an intersection. Warning signs can show a train either pointing left or right, and a crossbuck sign.

Upgrading level crossings from passive to active control, or grade separating a crossing can dramatically reduce crashes. Coordinating road intersection signals and active rail crossing signals can reduce crashes by preventing queuing across tracks. Some level crossing upgrades improve traffic flow near the crossing.
