Always stop before crossing railroad tracks when:

Expect a train on any track, at any time, traveling in either direction. If you need to stop after crossing the tracks, wait until you can completely cross the tracks before proceeding. Make sure your vehicle clears the tracks before you stop.

• There isn't room on the other side for you to completely cross the tracks.
• The railroad crossing is located in a city or town that has frequent train traffic.
• You are transporting two or more young children in a passenger vehicle.
