What vehicles must stop at all railroad crossings
- Pick up trucks.
- School buses and passenger buses
carrying passengers.
- Motorcycles.
- Vehicles towing a trailer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the appropriate action to take when approaching
a railroad crossing that does not have signals (such as
lights or crossing gates)
- Always bring the car to a complete stop.
- Slow down and be prepared to
stop.
- Do nothing; all railroad crossings have signals.
- Increase speed to get across the tracks quickly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If traffic prevents you from crossing all the way across
a set of railroad tracks, you may proceed only when
- An approaching train is not moving fast enough to
be a danger.
- There is room for your vehicle
on the other side.
- At least one-half of your vehicle can cross the tracks.
- No trains are in sight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If an approaching train is near enough or going fast enough
to be a danger, you must
- Slow down and proceed with caution.
- Not cross the tracks until the
train has completely passed.
- Cross the tracks at your own risk.
- Find an alternative route across tracks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may drive around or under a gate that is being lowered
or raised at a railroad crossing
- As long as an approaching train is not too close.
- If your vehicle can do so without damaging the gate.
- If you first look carefully in both directions.
- Under no circumstances.
