Question 7352
When approaching a railroad crossing, you must...
- always reduce your speed below the maximum permitted speed.
- cross at the highest possible speed if the barrier is raised.
- always stop before crossing it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: always reduce your speed below the maximum permitted speed.
As you approach a railroad crossing, you must always slow down below the speed limit, even if the barrier is raised and you cannot see a train. Whether you have to stop depends on what you encounter. In the picture, you must stop because there is a stop sign and the red light is on. If nothing requires you to stop, such as those signs and signals, a lowered barrier, or a nearby train, you do not have to.
