Question 7355
A railroad crossing must be crossed...
- very slowly and with the low beams on so the train driver can see us.
- very quickly so as not to be on the crossing at the same time as the train.
- without delay and after checking that there is no risk of being stopped on the train tracks.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: without delay and after checking that there is no risk of being stopped on the train tracks.
Before entering, you make sure traffic or anything else will not leave you stopped on the tracks, and that there is room for your entire car on the other side. Then you cross without delay and without stopping on the crossing. Without delay does not mean at full speed. Going very slowly increases the time you spend on the tracks, and even if the train engineer sees you, the train needs hundreds of meters to stop.
