Should a standard-transmission driver change gears on railway tracks?
Correct answer: No; pick a lower gear before crossing
Why
For a manual vehicle, select a lower gear before the railway crossing and avoid shifting on the tracks. After a stop required by section185, the law expressly requires a gear that will not need changing during the crossing. Enter only when you can clear the tracks completely.
