What must a driver do when railroad crossing lights are flashing or the gates are down?
A approaches a railroad crossing with a lowered gate and active red warning lamps. The card identifies the gate and warnings. No waiting halo or instruction appears in the question.
Correct answer: Stop and wait until the lights stop, the gates rise, and the tracks are clear.
Why
When the statutory railroad warnings require a stop, stop 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail and do not proceed until safe. Wait for flashing warning lights to end, gates to be fully raised and all tracks to be clear. Never drive through, around or under a gate while it is closed or opening or closing.
