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.
