A railroad gate is lowered and warning lights are flashing. What must you 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 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail and wait for safe, lawful release
Why
Stop not less than 15 and not more than 50 feet from the nearest rail for the stated lowered gate. Do not drive around it. Wait for the gate to rise, confirm that no train is approaching and that the crossing and exit are clear, then proceed lawfully. An officer or crossing flagger may give a controlling direction. Separate marked abandoned or exempt-crossing provisions do not make this active gated crossing optional.
