Explanation
Never attempt to drive around or under a lowered crossing gate at a railroad crossing. This is extremely dangerous and could result in a catastrophic collision with a train. Drivers should also be cautious when approaching railroad tracks, especially if gates are down or warning lights are flashing. Obey all signals and warnings and never proceed until all signals are completed and it is safe to do so.
