This figure illustrates an example of a flashing-light signal assembly for pedestrian crossings.

The figure shows a post-mounted flashing-light signal with two red lights shown mounted in a horizontal line. The post is denoted as a pipe post. A rounded-top audible device is shown mounted on top of the post. A white crossbuck sign with the words "RAILROAD CROSSING" in black is shown mounted on the post below the audible device and above the post-mounted lights. An R15-8 sign is shown mounted on the post below the post-mounted lights. R15-8 is shown as a horizontal rectangular white sign with a horizontal two-direction black arrow above the word "LOOK" in black.

The base of the post assembly is shown as a dimensioned thickness of 4 inches MAX. The distance from the ground level to the bottom of the R15-8 sign is shown as a dimension of 7 ft MIN. The distance from the ground level to the bottom of the post-mounted lights is shown as a dimension of 7.5 ft MIN. to 9.5 ft MAX.
