Explanation
Drivers must stop within 15 to 50 feet of the nearest rail when required to stop at a railroad crossing. If you see or hear a train approaching, or if warning devices such as flashing lights indicate a train is coming, you must stop. Proceed only when the flashing signals have stopped and it is safe to cross.
