A train is approaching a crossing and the gate has started down. What should a driver do?
A blue car approaches a single-track railroad crossing. Red warning lights are active and the gate is closing or down across its inbound lane. The near control has a US RAILROAD CROSSING crossbuck; the other approach has its own gate.
Correct answer: Stop and wait; do not try to beat the train.
Why
A train's speed and distance can be deceptive, and it cannot swerve or stop quickly; wait until the crossing fully clears.
