Humpbacked railroad crossing


I had never seen a sign like this before. So, naturally, I had to investigate. It seems the railroad crossing just ahead has a large hump; large enough to create a problem for a vehicle towing another vehicle.

Who'd a thought that would be a problem? Evidently it became a problem. Thus, the powers that be put up a sign. But try to figure out that sign going 35 miles an hour. Especially if you've never seen one before.

Seems like there should be some words of warning or telling the tow truck driver what to do like slow down, bump ahead. From the sign, it looks like it's just a warning of the railroad tracks.

I like the look of these yellow-black signs. They just look vibrant in any backgrounds... Nice shot!

I don't believe I've seen anything like it before either. That's pretty dangerous.

Interesting sign. I've never seen one before, but I'll keep an eye out now.
