Explanation
When approaching a railroad crossing, always slow down and check for warning signals. You may encounter a flashing red light alongside the crossbuck sign. Always stop when the lights begin to flash - do not attempt to cross the tracks. Wait patiently until the lights stop flashing, as they indicate that a train is nearby. Proceed with caution only after the flashing lights have ceased and there is no sign of an approaching train.
