Explanation
When traffic prevents you from fully crossing a set of railroad tracks, stop before the tracks - never on them. If traffic is backed up, stop at the crossbuck or stop line, and do not proceed unless you are certain you can completely clear the tracks. Never stop on the tracks, even if warning lights aren't flashing or gates aren't down. Trains can approach quickly and quietly. When in doubt, wait before the crossing until it is absolutely safe to proceed.
