Before starting across a railroad crossing in traffic, what must you be sure of?
- A.That there is enough room on the far side for your whole vehicle to clear the tracks
- B.That the vehicle behind you is also ready
- C.That your hazard lights are off
- D.That you can stop on the tracks if traffic halts
Correct answer
A. That there is enough room on the far side for your whole vehicle to clear the tracks
Why
Traffic that stops just beyond the crossing can trap you on the rails with no escape. Only enter when the space on the other side can hold your entire vehicle clear of the tracks.
