Railway crossingmeaning

If the gates are down, don't cross the tracks until the gates are raised. It's against the law to go around crossing gates.

At crossings without gates, you may cross the tracks, after stopping, while the red lights are flashing if it's safe to do so. However, if a train is closely approaching, or if a signal person signals you to stop, you must stop and wait until it's safe to proceed. Some railway crossings may have an advance flashing amber (yellow) light and sign warning of a train ahead at a concealed crossing.

Drivers should check for trains at every crossing, even those equipped with automatic signals. Always proceed with caution when crossing railway tracks.
