When approaching a railroad crossing that has no warning signals (such as electric flashing lights or gates), a driver should slow down, look, and listen.

If a railroad crossing has no warning devices or only a crossbuck sign, you should slow down, look in both directions of the track, and listen for a train or railroad equipment. Only proceed with caution across the tracks when it is safe to do so.
