An approaching train is near enough to be a danger. You as a driver must:
|
Cross the tracks before the train arrives.
|
|
|
Sound your horn.
|
|
|
Not cross the tracks until the train has completely passed.
|
|
|
Slow down and proceed with caution.
|
Explanation
When approaching railroad crossings, slow down and be prepared to stop. If the crossing has no warning devices or only a crossbuck sign, reduce your speed, look in both directions along the tracks, and listen for an approaching train. If a train is coming, do not cross the tracks! Trains are closer and faster than they appear and cannot stop quickly. Stop well before the tracks and proceed with caution only when the train has passed and you have a clear, unobstructed view of the tracks.
