Explanation
At a railroad crossing with multiple tracks, it is extremely important to exercise caution. Always wait until the train has completely cleared the crossing and is well down the track before starting to cross. This is vital because a second train might be obscured by the first, posing a serious risk if the driver attempts to cross too soon.
