Yes, the sign on the crossbuck or gate at a railroad crossing indicates the number of tracks present at that location. This information is crucial for drivers and pedestrians, as it alerts them to the potential for multiple trains approaching from either direction. Knowing the number of tracks helps ensure safety by emphasizing the need to remain vigilant while crossing. Always heed these signs and wait for any trains to pass before crossing the tracks.
Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way, I still look both ways though :) In Oregon pedestrians only have the right of way at crosswalks or intersections. If they cross in the middle of the block they must legally yield to vehicles before crossing.

Additionally, drivers should always exercise caution and look both ways before crossing, even after the lights have stopped.
