Explanation
Crossing railroad tracks with multiple tracks should only be done when it is safe to do so. Before crossing, slow down and look in both directions to make sure there is no train coming and that there is enough room for your vehicle on the far side. Make sure the passing train is well down the track before starting to cross. Do not assume a train is not coming, as this is one of the leading causes of fatalities at railroad crossings.
