Which sign indicates a level crossing without barrier?

Explanation:
Recognising the type of level crossing ahead and what “without barrier” implies. This sign tells you there is a level crossing ahead but there are no barriers to physically stop traffic. You must rely on your own judgment and any signals or alarms at the crossing. Slow down, be prepared to stop, and only cross when you’re sure the tracks are clear. If warning lights flash or bells sound, stop and wait well back from the crossing until the signals stop and the area is clear. The other signs point to different hazards: a tunnel ahead, a tram crossing, or a pedestrian zebra crossing, none of which describe a level crossing without barriers.
