No vehicle is allowed to pass a railroad crossing when the gates are down, because it's not an arbitrary rule like a stoplight.... it's a serious danger, and a train moving at speed can take literally miles to stop.

What do flashing red lights at railroad crossings mean?

All US states require that you stop prior to entering the crossing, and a train is approaching the crossing. If there are also crossing gates, you must not go through the crossing when the gates are either being lowered or raised. If there are no gates, you are allowed to proceed through the crossing after stopping only after you have looked and determined no train is approaching and it is safe to cross. If there are gates, you are not allowed to go around the gates legally unless a railroad employee or a police officer instructs you that it is safe to do so.
