15 and 50 feet
You must stop within 50 feet but no closer than 15 feet of the railroad crossing. Never stop on railroad tracks or go when the gate is down.
You should stop at a railroad crossing with mechanical gates and lights whenever the lights begin flashing. Do not attempt to cross while the gate is being closed.
50 feet
You must stop in front of the swing down gate, usually about 10 feet or so from the tracks. There should also be a white line which you must remain behind for your safety. If a gate is down, never never go around it ... you can't tell how fast the train is moving from the side angle.
you keep speeding
If there is no stop line or crossing gate (which indicates where to stop), you are required to be not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail.
When approaching a railroad grade crossing where the gates are down or the lights flashing you should stop before the stop line. If there is no stop line then at least 15 or more feet from the nearest rail.
Buses and vehicles transporting hazardous materials.
The truck will stop at the crossing.
No, you must always be careful crossing any railroad tracks. Remember that a train cannot stop easily and cannot swerve to avoid you, so you have to stay out of its way.
