Explanation
When approaching a railroad crossing with multiple tracks, you should wait until you have a clear view of both tracks before proceeding. This precaution is necessary because, even after one train has passed, there could be another train approaching on a different track that is not immediately visible. By waiting until the passing train is well down the track, you ensure that there is no hidden train approaching from the opposite direction.
