What are drivers required to do if a train is approaching a crossing but the gates are not lowered or signals are not flashing?
Drivers must always be prepared to stop if a train is approaching a crossing, even if automatic signals or gates are not active. Safety procedures dictate stopping to ensure that a high-speed train, which cannot halt quickly, can pass without incident or collision. This protocol reduces risk of accidents at crossings, emphasizing vigilance and adherence to safe practices.
