A railroad crossing gate is lowered and its red lights are flashing. May you drive around the gate if no train is visible?
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: No; stay stopped until the warning ends and it is safe.
Why
An active gate and flashing signal prohibit entry because a train may be close or hidden.
