What should you do at a railroad crossing?

Speed up to get across quickly
Look for signals-lights, a train approaching, or warning devices
Drive around the crossing gate
Stop and then drive through the crossing gate

The correct answer is: Look for signals-lights, a train approaching, or warning devices

Railroad crossings are potentially dangerous areas and require careful attention. Options A and C are incorrect because they are unsafe and illegal actions. Speeding up to get across quickly can lead to accidents or not being able to stop in time if necessary. Driving around the crossing gate is also illegal and unsafe. Option D is incorrect because stopping and then driving through the gate is also illegal and can lead to accidents. Option B is the correct answer because it instructs drivers to look for signals, lights, and warning devices to properly assess the situation and safely cross the railroad tracks.
