May a driver go around a lowered railroad gate after looking both ways?
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. Wait until the gate rises.
Why
A lowered railroad gate must be obeyed; remain stopped until it rises and the crossing can be used safely.
