Question 6336

What must you do at this railroad crossing without gates, where the traffic light is off and there is a STOP sign?

  1. Cross without slowing down, since the traffic light being off allows it.
  2. Stop and make sure no train is coming before crossing.
  3. Slow down without coming to a stop to check that no train is coming.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Stop and make sure no train is coming before crossing.

The stop sign requires you to come to a complete stop before the tracks, even if the traffic light is off. Then you look both ways and, if no train is coming, cross without delay. The traffic light being off does not prohibit you from crossing, but it does not override the stop sign.
