Who has the right-of-way when a driver approaches railroad tracks?
- The vehicle that reaches the crossing first
- The vehicle traveling faster
- The train
- The driver closest to the center line
Answer: The train. Tennessee requires drivers to yield the right-of-way to trains because a train cannot stop or swerve like a passenger vehicle. Reaching the crossing first, traveling faster, or being positioned near the center line does not change that priority. Slow well before the tracks, look and listen, and never race a train to the crossing. The large difference in stopping ability is the safety reason behind the rule, not a suggestion to negotiate.
