Explanation
When approaching railroad tracks, stay alert. Slow down, look in both directions, and listen for trains. Always check for multiple tracks or trains at each crossing. Do not attempt to cross the tracks if a train is approaching or if the gates and flashing lights are activated. If the railroad crossing gates are lowered, come to a complete stop. Remain stopped and wait until the train has passed and the gates are fully raised before proceeding.
