💡 Pro tip

Never start across a railroad crossing until there's room for your entire vehicle to clear the far side, since stopping on the tracks is what gets drivers killed.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Driving around lowered gates or past flashing lights.
  • Stopping on the tracks when traffic is backed up ahead.
  • Crossing without making sure the way is fully clear.
