What should you do when you come to a railroad crossing?

Reduce speed
Use your high beams
Sound your horn
Swerve across the tracks

The correct answer is: Reduce speed

When approaching a railroad crossing, it is important to reduce speed due to the potential danger and hazards associated with trains. Using high beams is not appropriate as it can blind oncoming traffic or train operators. Sounding your horn is also not recommended as it can startle railway workers and distract them from their job. Swerving across the tracks is extremely dangerous and should never be done, as it can result in a collision or derailing of the train. Therefore, reducing speed is the safest and most appropriate action to take when approaching a railroad crossing.
