At a railroad crossing, you must stop at least 15 feet from the tracks if you see/hear:

Flashing red lights.
Lowered crossing gates.
A bell.
All of the above.
Explanation

You must come to a complete stop at least 15 feet from the nearest rail at a railroad crossing when red lights are flashing, gates are lowered, or a bell is ringing. Proceed only after the red lights stop flashing, the bell ceases, and the gate is fully raised. Public railroad crossings are equipped with warning devices for your safety. Always watch for these signals and exercise caution at every railroad crossing.
