What does a road marking consisting of the letters 'P' and 'N' placed on either side of a cross indicate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the proximity of a level crossing. This horizontal signage, formed by the letters 'P' and 'N' (referring to Paso a Nivel, Spanish for Level Crossing) placed on the sides of a cross or X, warns drivers that they are approaching a railway crossing. This marking does not distinguish whether the crossing has barriers or not, so extreme caution must be exercised, speed reduced, and attention paid to the corresponding vertical signage. The other options are incorrect: the proximity of a school is usually marked with the word 'School' or the P-21 sign, and an airport with the silhouette of an airplane.
