Practice question

What should you do when approaching a railroad crossing?

  1. Stop and look both ways
  2. Honk your horn
  3. Speed up
  4. Put on your high beams

Answer: A — Stop and look both ways

When approaching a railroad crossing, you should always stop and look both ways to ensure that no trains are coming. Honking your horn, speeding up, or putting on your high beams are all incorrect options because they do not properly allow you to check for oncoming trains and can potentially put you in danger. Simply stopping and looking both ways is the safest and most effective way to approach a railroad crossing.
