You approach a railroad crossing as its red lights begin to flash. Where must you stop?
A is approaching a railroad crossing with active red warning lamps. The tracks cross its lane ahead.
Correct answer: Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail
Why
The 15-to-50-foot zone keeps you clear of the train while leaving you close enough to see the tracks and signals. You must also stop there when a gate is down, a flagger signals, or a train is plainly close, even with no working signals. Stay stopped until it is safe: the lights may keep flashing after a train passes, and a second train may come on another track.
