A railroad crossing gate is lowered or moving. What may 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 go through, around, or under it.
Why
Never drive through, around, or under a crossing gate while it is lowered, lowering, or rising. Wait until the gate is fully raised, the warning lights have stopped flashing, and all tracks are clear. A second train may approach on another track.
