Guide, railroad and other signs - Kansas
Railroad Advance Warning
A round yellow warning sign with an "X" symbol and black "RR" letters is placed along the road prior to a highway-railroad grade crossing. The sign cautions you to slow down, look and listen for a train or railroad vehicle and be prepared to stop if a train is approaching.
Manual page 36
Railroad Crossing Crossbuck
A white, X-shaped sign with "Railroad Crossing" printed on it is located at the highway-railroad grade crossing. You must wait for a train or railroad vehicle that is approaching the intersection. Your vehicle must remain behind the stop line or prior to the intersection until the intersection is clear.
Manual page 36
2 TRACKS
At highway-railroad grade crossings with more than one train track, the number of tracks will be posted. These signs warn you that there is more than one track and there may be more than one train crossing. Not all highway-railroad grade crossings with more than one train track will have these signs so it is important to check for more than one track, train, or railroad vehicle at each highway-railroad grade crossing.
Manual page 37
Railroad Flashing Light Signals
At some highway-railroad grade crossings, in addition to the signs, you may see side-by-side lights that will flash alternately. When a train is approaching and lights are flashing you must stop prior to the stop line or gate crossing area. ... Some highway-railroad grade crossings also have a bell or a horn that will sound. You should not cross until the bell or horn has stopped.

Traffic signals - Kansas
Steady GREEN Traffic Light
This means you can go through the intersection if it is clear to do so. You must yield to emergency vehicles and other roadway users as required by law. If you are stopped at the intersection and the light turns green, you must allow crossing traffic to clear the intersection before you go ahead. Turning left at a steady green traffic light means you may turn but only when the intersection is clear to do so. You should always yield to the oncoming traffic flow and pedestrians.
Manual page 34
Steady YELLOW Traffic Light
This means the traffic light is about to change to red. You should slow down and come to a complete stop if traffic flow to the rear allows. If you are already in the intersection when the yellow light comes on, you may continue safely through the intersection.
Manual page 34
Steady RED Traffic Light
This means stop prior to entering the intersection. You must wait behind the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection until the traffic light turns green. In some locations, there may be a small, very bright blinking light in the middle of the red light. This device is to alert you of the red light and that you must stop. When turning right at an intersection, if there is no sign prohibiting a right turn on a red light, you may turn after stopping and checking for traffic and pedestrians. Some left turns may be permitted on red when moving from a one-way street onto another one-way street or from a two-way street onto a one-way street.
Manual page 34
GREEN Arrow
This means you can safely turn in the direction of the arrow, if the intersection is clear of other roadway users. When the arrow is green, oncoming or crossing traffic should yield to your turning action but be careful of others making a right turn on red from the other side of the intersection.
