Example Use:
A 'Do Not Stop On Tracks' sign is crucial for ensuring the safety of both motorists and train passengers at railroad crossings. Imagine it's rush hour, and traffic is backed up near an intersection that includes a railroad crossing. A driver, unfamiliar with the area, pulls up and stops on the tracks, thinking they'll have time to move once traffic starts flowing. Suddenly, the crossing bells ring, and the barrier arms start to lower as a high-speed train approaches. Since traffic is backed up, the driver is trapped on the tracks with no way to move forward or backward. In this dangerous situation, the 'Do Not Stop On Tracks' sign serves as a life-saving reminder to keep the tracks clear at all times, even if it looks like you'll be able to cross safely.
