Question 5738

At a railroad crossing, you are allowed to cross when...

  1. the traffic light controlling the crossing is red and the gate is raised.
  2. the gate is moving.
  3. the gate is fully raised.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the gate is fully raised.

You enter when the barrier is fully raised and no longer moving, and no other sign or signal prohibits it. If it is moving, whether lowering or rising, you stop. You must not cross while the red light is on, even if the barrier is up. In the picture, the barriers are up and the traffic light is off.
