Explanation
Railroads may have multiple tracks one next to the other. After a train passes, do not start up until you're sure no train is approaching on another track. Look both ways and be certain that the tracks are clear before proceeding. Although when the warning signals are turned off you are allowed to cross the tracks, always make sure that there is enough room for your vehicle on the other side.
