You are stopped at a railroad crossing whose signals are flashing. When are you allowed to proceed across?
Correct answer
- After the train is at least 100 feet away
- After the signals have stopped flashing
- After the train is at least 50 feet away
Explanation
If the railroad crossing signals are warning of an approaching train, you must stop. You must remain stopped until the crossing signals stop flashing. (Bear in mind that even after the train has passed, there may be a second train approaching after this one.) Even after the crossing signals have stopped flashing, you should look in both directions to make sure the tracks are clear before you proceed across. Crossing signals can malfunction.
