Explanation
You must always stop at a railroad crossing when the gate is down or when you see flashing red lights indicating that a train is nearby, even if you believe it is safe to proceed. After the train passes, you may need to wait a while, as the gate will not rise immediately. Be patient and do not honk your horn in frustration. When approaching a railroad crossing, always stay alert. Even if there are no warning signs activated, ensure you don't hear or see an approaching train.
