Explanation
Drivers approaching a highway-railroad crossing must slow down and be prepared to stop if the warning devices are flashing or the crossing gate is lowered. These signals indicate that a train is approaching. Warning devices are in place to alert and regulate drivers at railroad crossings. Always obey these signals - never cross when the lights are flashing or attempt to go around the gate.
