Explanation
When approaching a railroad crossing with no signals or gates, drivers must take extra caution and ensure there is enough space to completely cross the tracks before attempting to cross. It is extremely dangerous to stop a vehicle on the tracks, as it increases the risk of collision with an oncoming train. In addition, drivers should always look both ways and listen for trains before proceeding over the tracks.
