Both
you must look both ways left and right
look for the train coming.
Approach it slow and look both directions, stop first if there is a stop sign. * Added - Each state has different requirements in the US. In many states, the motorist is required to stop at the crossing and proceed only when safe to do so.
The riddle says spell it. Get it, spell "it"
What you should do when you are coming up to a railroad crossing with no gates or lights is treat it like there are lights or gates. Stop or slow down and look both ways to make sure there is no train coming. I also suggest if you have your radio up loud then turn it down when you get close to the crossing so you can hear if a train is coming. The train has to sound its horn no more than a 1/4 of mile from the crossing or at least 15 seconds but no more than 20 seconds from the crossing. Treat the crossing like a stop light. Look, Listen and Live. Just look at the related link for more information. Railroad worker for 10 years.
look both ways carefully.
its a riddle and the answer is t.h.a.t.I believe the answer is, it. Can you spell (it) without any r's
Crossbuck signsSo called "crossbuck" signs have the words "RAILROAD" and "CROSSING" in black and white assembled in a large "X" configuration.If there is more than one set of tracks this sign will also tell how many tracks there are on a separate sign below the crossbuck.As you approach, look and listen for an approaching train. The crossbuck sign means the same as a yield sign, which means that if a train is approaching you must yield and let the train pass. A recently enacted state law will require that a YIELD sign be placed below the crossbuck sign at crossings that do not have stop signs or red flashing light signals. This is being done to further emphasize that a crossbuck sign means that you must yield to trains

When approaching an intersection of this type, you shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection on your right or is approaching the intersection from your right. If the road to your right is clear, or if approaching vehicles are far enough from the intersection to make your crossing safe, you may proceed. Since there are no traffic controls at this intersection, make sure that there are no approaching vehicles from the left. you may legally have the right-of-way, but you should be sur the other driver yield to you before you proceed. [4-2] Look this up!!! :)
If you are operating a hired passenger vehicle (taxi, limo, bus, any public transportation, etc.) you have to stop, look both ways, and listen before crossing.If you are in a private vehicle with friends, family, co-workers, etc. then you only have to stop if you can see a train.* Correction - Some US states require you to stop at the crossing and proceed only when safe to do so.The red lights and/or gates may also be there.Additional: The operators of certain busses, commercial trucks, and truck/trailer combinations, are also required to bring their vehicles to a stop, and look/listen before proceeding across railroad rights-of-way.
