Use of railroad advance-warning signs, numbered W10-1, W10-2, W10-3, and W10-4 and shown in part 8830.9921, must comply with the MMUTCD.
The W10-2, W10-3, and W10-4 signs may be installed on roadways that are parallel to tracks to warn a motorist making a turn that a grade crossing is ahead.
The installation, maintenance, and costs of railroad advance-warning signs are responsibilities of the road authority.

After a railroad advance-warning sign reflectorized with wide-angle, prismatic, retroreflective sheeting or its equivalent is installed, future replacement of that railroad advance-warning sign by the road authority must be to at least the same level of reflectorization.
