School Zones, Railways & Work AreasStandalone practice
You are in slow city traffic. The cars ahead of you have stopped just past a railroad crossing. There is not enough room for your car between the tracks and the last car. The crossing signals are not flashing. What should you do?
A approaches a railway crossing with dark lamps and raised gates. Two cars beyond the tracks leave a visibly inadequate space for A’s full length.
Correct answer: Stop before the tracks until your whole car fits on the other side.
Why
A train can need a mile or more to stop, and signals can start after you are on the tracks. If traffic ahead stops, a car that started across can be trapped. Wait before the crossing, and cross only when the whole car can get past the tracks.
