Explanation
If you approach a railroad crossing that doesn't have a lowered gate or red flashing lights, you must always slow down, look, and listen for trains. Proceed only when you are sure the tracks are clear. If you hear or see a train approaching, you must stop and wait for the train to completely pass before proceeding.
