At a railroad crossing, you see that a car has stalled on the tracks and its driver has left it there. No train is in sight, and the crossing lights are not flashing. You are parked in a safe place away from the tracks. What is the best way to get trains stopped or slowed before they reach this crossing?You follow an empty school bus on a two-lane road. It comes to a railroad crossing that has no lights or gates, and no train is in sight. What should you expect the bus driver to do?Near a school, a student safety patrol member steps to the edge of the street and holds a flag out to stop traffic. A line of children starts to cross the street in front of your car. What must you do?One lane of a two-lane highway is closed for road work. You are first in line, and the flagger holds the STOP side of the paddle toward you. After a short wait, the last car from the other direction goes past you, and the open lane ahead looks empty. What should you do?You approach a railroad crossing. The red lights start to flash and the bells ring, but the gate arm has not started to come down, and you do not see a train. What must you do?You follow a school bus on a city street. The bus turns on its flashing amber (yellow) lights. It has not stopped yet. What do these lights tell you?
