|
Any time a train may be approaching, whether or not you can see it.

Explanation
Always stop before crossing railroad tracks if a train is approaching. Trains can come from either direction at any time and may not always be visible. Flashing red warning lights, a lowered crossing gate, or a train’s audible warning signal all indicate that a train is approaching, and you must stop your vehicle. Never attempt to go around a gate or ignore any signal of an approaching train.
