Whistle post placement

[cec209]

I'm working on a T-Trak module with a grade crossing based in the late 1930s.  Since trains will be moving in both directions on both tracks a various times how should a whistle post(s) (a W sign ) be placed?
1 post in between the tracks or two posts, between the tracks and on the right side of the right track approaching the crossing?

Remember, while there is a bit of Right side often, as a rule of thumb. Its not unusual, in fact its common for trains to use both tracks going in one direction especially on a busy mainline. So any signage needs to be visible on both tracks in a given direction. Unless the prototype modeled explicitly doesn't do it.

You're gonna have to build a few more modules to truly get it right

For double track it is common to have whistle posts outside on both sides.

Putting it between two adjacent tracks would create a close clearance and a hazard.
