You may drive around or under a gate that is being lowered or raised at a railroad crossing:

Flashing red lights, lowered crossing gates, and/or bells at a railroad crossing mean that you must come to a complete stop. You must not go across the tracks until the lights and bells have stopped and the crossing gates are completely up. Do not drive around or under a gate that is moving up or down.

• As long as an approaching train is not too close.
• If your vehicle can do so without damaging the gate.
• If you first look carefully in both directions.
• Under no circumstances.
