Before crossing any railroad tracks, you must:

Make sure there is room for your vehicle on the other side.
Wait until the crossing gates are completely up.
Look and listen for trains.
All of the above.
Explanation

When approaching railroad tracks without warning signals, drivers must slow down, look in both directions, listen for approaching trains, and ensure there is enough space on the other side to clear the tracks without stopping. At actively protected railroad crossings (controlled by flashing lights and/or gates) drivers should wait until the gate is fully raised and the lights have turned off before proceeding.
