#1. Why is it dangerous to stop on railroad tracks?

Trains require long stopping distances, making it impossible to stop quickly for vehicles on the tracks.

#2. What should you do if your car stalls on railroad tracks?

Get out of the vehicle quickly and move away from the tracks to avoid danger.

#3. What should you do when red lights are flashing at a railroad crossing?

Flashing red lights indicate a train is approaching or crossing, and drivers must stop.

The crossbuck sign indicates a railroad crossing where drivers must yield to trains.

Never attempt to beat the gate. Stop and wait until the gate fully raises and lights stop flashing.

Drivers must stop whenever signals, gates, or flashing lights indicate an approaching train, even if it’s not yet visible.

Railroad warning signs alert drivers that train tracks or crossings are ahead, requiring extra caution.
