School Zones, Railways & Work AreasStandalone practice
A train passes, and the crossing gate in front of you starts to rise. The lights still flash. The driver next to you goes around the rising gate. What should you do?
A faces a railroad crossing whose red lights still flash after a train has passed. The gate arm is partly raised, and B has driven around it through the opposing lane.
Correct answer: Wait until the gate is fully up, then look for a second train before you cross
Why
Crossings with more than one track are very dangerous, because the first train can hide a second one. Trains cannot stop quickly. Never try to beat a train or a gate.
