When you approach a railroad crossing without flashing warning signals or crossing gates, you should:

Always stop.

Yield to all trains at the crossing.
Explanation

It is important to be cautious and yield to any trains when approaching a railroad crossing without flashing warning signals or crossing gates. This is because trains may be approaching the crossing at high speeds and may not be able to stop in time to avoid a collision. Therefore, it is important to slow down, look both ways, and listen for any approaching trains before proceeding with caution.
