At an ordinary railroad crossing with no applicable stop exemption, which vehicle should you expect to stop even when no train is immediately visible?
An empty two-way road crosses a railroad track. A US crossbuck stands on the right of the westbound approach. No train, bus, placarded vehicle or active warning is selected.
Correct answer: A passenger bus or a truck with a hazardous-materials placard.
Why
A bus carrying passengers and vehicles carrying specified hazardous materials must generally stop 15 to 50 feet before the nearest rail, check for trains, and cross only when safe. Statutory exceptions apply, including qualifying traffic control or authorized exempt crossings. Stay ready to stop behind these vehicles.
