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

Always stop.
Speed up to beat the train.
Cross the tracks as slowly as possible.
Explanation

It is important to be cautious and yield to any trains when approaching a railroad crossing without flashing warning signals or crossing gates.

Therefore, it is important to slow down, look both ways, and listen for any approaching trains before proceeding with caution.
