When are you required to stop at a railroad crossing?
Drivers are required to stop at a railroad crossing when there are signals or signs indicating an approaching train, not just when a train is visible or the gate is down. This is a precautionary measure to ensure safety as trains can approach rapidly, and the signs and signals are meant to alert drivers well in advance. Ignoring these can lead to catastrophic accidents, so observing all warning indicators is critical.
