Explanation
You should approach railroad crossings with caution at all times. Drivers are required to stop at all railroad crossings when there is a signal of an approaching train. These signals include a lowered crossing gate, flashing red lights, a train’s audible signal of warning or a flagger signaling. When a stop sign is posted at a railroad crossing, it indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop before proceeding, regardless of whether a train is visible or not.
