Explanation
When you encounter side-by-side red lights flashing at a railroad crossing, along with the crossbuck sign, you must stop your vehicle before the stop line or crossing area. The alternating red flashing lights indicate an approaching train and serve as a warning to drivers to come to a complete stop. Do not proceed until the lights stop flashing and it is safe to cross.
