Explanation
To safely cross a railroad, drivers should listen and look both ways, then proceed if it is safe to do so. When preparing to cross railroad tracks at a designated crossing, you should obey warning devices, eliminate distractions, and be alert. Look both ways and listen for any approaching trains before proceeding quickly across the tracks. Never stop on railroad tracks. At unmarked or passive grade crossings, slow down and be prepared to stop. Before crossing, be sure that no trains are approaching. If a train is coming, wait until it passes, and only cross when it is safe to do so. If there are multiple tracks, wait until you have a clear view down all sets of tracks in both directions for another approaching train before crossing.
