Explanation
All of the answers provided are correct. Railroad crossings require special attention because trains cannot swerve out of the way and have much longer stopping distances than vehicles. Drivers should never stop on the railroad tracks, and they should not go around lowered gates or under them. Flashing red lights at a railroad crossing indicate that the driver must stop and wait until the lights stop flashing, even if the gate rises.
