When approaching a railway crossing with flashing red lights and a lowering gate, when are you legally allowed to cross?
Blue car A approaches a single-track railway crossing with its warning system active and the gate closing or down. The barrier controls A's entire inbound lane. The opposite approach has its own gate assembly.
Correct answer: Once the gates rise and the lights stop flashing.
Why
You must wait until the gates are completely raised, the warning lights stop flashing, and you are certain the tracks are entirely clear before driving across.
