Explanation
When approaching a railroad crossing, all drivers must slow down, check for warning signals, look in both directions, and listen for trains. If no trains are present, most vehicles may proceed with caution. However, vehicles displaying hazardous materials placards are required to come to a complete stop before crossing the tracks to prevent catastrophic incidents in case of a collision or derailment. This precaution is mandated by federal regulations to ensure the safety of both the public and the environment.
