Does a railroad crossing with flashing lights know how fast the train is going?

No. It's a positional device. When the train is a certain number of feet from the crossing it is activated.

Would you enter a railroad crossing if the flashing lights are activated?
Not unless you want to be Killed or Injured for life. A lot of people have tried to beat the train to the crossing and it was the last thing they Ever did. Train Versus Human = Train 1 - Human Nothing but blood and guts. * Added - In all US states, the flashing lights activated means stop prior to entering the crossing. If there are no crossing gates, most US states allow you to proceed after stopping and checking to be sure no train is approaching. If there are crossing gates as well, it is not legal to drive aroound the gates or through the crossing while the gates are going up or down in any state in the US.

When a red light flashes at a railroad crossing you must?
The red light flashing is a warning that a train is due to pass through the railroad crossing, and a vehicle driver 'must' stop and not attempt to cross. Any sensible driver would indeed stop and wait for the train to pass and the red light go off, before going forward to cross the railway crossing (safely).There are many videos on the internet showing idiots either just avoiding being killed, or actually being killed as the train passes through the crossing at high speed. In each case, it was because they ignored or took a chance and ignored the red flashing warning light.

What should you do if you are overtaken by an emergency vehicle flashing its emergency lights?
Pull over if you can do it safely to let them by. The reason they only flash the lights without sirens is because they do not want to upset the people they are going to take care of. Some people with heart conditions could die if they get excited. Some other emergencies require the people involved not to be subjected to the noise of the sirens. They do not want to get them upset. When they have ONLY THEIR LIGHTS flashing, they may be reacting to life-threatening situations just the same as when the sirens are going. You should always pull over for them.
