Explanation
You should never attempt to pass another vehicle when approaching a railroad crossing, as it is dangerous and your view may be obstructed. Trains cannot stop quickly, and if one suddenly appears, you may not have enough time to react and stop safely. At some railroad crossings, a Yield sign is posted below the Crossbuck, indicating that you must yield to oncoming trains. If the crossing has a gate, it will lower when a train is approaching. Never drive around the gate or attempt to cross under a raising or lowering gate.
