Figure 3.1 Siting of STOP and GIVE WAY signs.

STOP signs are placed at user-worked railway level crossings; these are normally crossings involving public footways or bridleways, or private roads. In these circumstances, the STOP sign is used in combination with the supplementary plate to diagram 783 ("DRIVERS OF LONG LOW VEHICLES phone before crossing” or its "LARGE OR SLOW" variant).

At open railway level crossings and tramway crossings (i.e. those with no barriers and without signals) the GIVE WAY sign is used in combination with diagrams 774 and 778 or 774 and 778.1 as appropriate. Diagram 774 is mounted uppermost, with the plate to diagram 778 or 778.1 below diagram 602.
