How far away can a railroad crossing be activated by an approaching train?
There is no limit. However, where the system is designed to activate the railroad crossing is determined by design engineers and within the limits of the regulations covering this. In the US, an active railroad crossing (gates and/or crossing lights, and rarely, just a bell) is required to be activated 20 seconds prior to the train's arrival. Crossing gates are required to be horizontal prior to the trains arrival as well. In addition, very wide crossings may require "clearance time" before the train arrives, and trains that have full closure (often being "four quad crossings") may require additional time as well. If the grade crossing is interfaced with highway traffic signals, even more time is needed. After all the time needed is added, which can range from slightly over 20 seconds to as much as 2 minutes for when the train needs to begin the process, the highest train speed is then determined. The distance this must begin is simply the speed of the train multipled by the time required. A 10mph train and 25 seconds activation = 10mph converted to feet per second, which is 15, times 25 = 375 feet. A 110 mph train (the fastest in the US) and 1 minute activation = 161x60 = 9,660 feet.

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.
Upon approaching a railroad crossing with the gates lowered you must stop no less than how many feet from the tracks?
not less than 15 feet
