These plates identify bridges carrying either a railway over a road or a road over a railway. The plate also carries information on what to do in the event of a bridge being struck by a road vehicle. This particular plate is on this bridge https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7442626 which carries a footpath over the (currently under construction) Levenmouth Rail Link https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/levenmouth-rail-link-project-fife-scotland/ Not all such bridges carry one of these plates - if in doubt contact the police.
