How does the crossing gates sense a train is coming?
It depends which country you're in. In the UK, they are synchronised with the track lights. As a train approaches the lights close to the crossing, they trigger the stop signals to halt the traffic, and power electric motors to close the crossing gates. Once the train passes the next signal lights after the crossing, they trigger the crossing indicators to go out, and retract the gates to allow traffic to move again.
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.
What should you do at a RR crossing with a flashing red light if the train is stopped?

What is the first warning signal of an approaching train on a level crossing?
The train whistle or the red warning lights flashing is the first warning signal of an approaching train on a level crossing. At many railroad crossings, the stop arm would be blocking access to crossing the tracks.
What is a railroad crossing controlled by flashing lights and or crossing gates?
Active crossing. A highway-railroad grade crossing that has flashing lights with or without crossing gates is called an "active railroad crossing". This is because it is activated automatically by the approach of a train, and shut off as the train passes. In the US, there are crossings that may use flashing lights that are not activated automatically, but nearly all were retired in the US by 1990. The watchman controlled flashing light grade crossing in southern New Jersey made headlines when it was retired in 1990, as the last of its kind in the country.
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.
What does flashing red lights at a train crossing mean?
The flashing red light only illuminates when there is a train coming. There should also be gates there too. It means STOP!
