What is required when approaching a railroad crossing with flashing red lights?
- Stop and wait until the train has passed and the crossing is safe
- Cross quickly before the train reaches the crossing
- Stop only if a gate is lowered
- Drive around the warning lights if the track looks clear
Answer: Stop and wait until the train has passed and the crossing is safe. Flashing red lights at a railroad crossing mean a train is approaching, so the driver must stop and wait until the train has passed and the crossing is safe. The absence of a lowered gate does not cancel the signal. Crossing quickly or driving around warning equipment risks a collision with a train. The cue is any active crossing warning: stop at a safe point, remain stopped, and proceed only after the warning ends.
