|
|
Proceed only when at least one-half of your vehicle can cross the tracks safely.

Never start to cross railroad tracks if there is not room for your vehicle on the other side of the tracks. Do not proceed unless you can clear all of the tracks at the crossing completely. If other vehicles prevent you from going fully across, wait and go across only when there is room.
