Passing target: 80% (24/30)
A sign at a railroad crossing shows that there are 2 tracks. A long freight train passes, and its last car clears the road. The red lights continue to flash. What should you do?
A faces a two-track crossing. The last freight car is clear of the road, an exact 2 TRACKS plaque is below the crossbuck, and the red warning lamps continue to flash.
Correct answer: Stay stopped until the lights stop and you can see that both tracks are clear.
Why
A sign below the crossbuck shows the number of tracks when there are 2 or more. The noise and the view of the first train can hide a second train that comes from either direction. Look and listen again before you move. If the lights still flash, the signal still warns of a train.
