At right angles.
When crossing railroad tracks on a forklift, ensure the area is clear of trains and any potential hazards. Approach the tracks at a right angle to minimize the chance of the forklift tipping. Lower the forks to the ground to maintain stability and cross quickly but safely. Always follow local safety regulations and guidelines when operating near railroad tracks.
Slow and cross tracks at angle where possible. This prevents the truck from dropping into the tracks in a jarring motion.

Railroad tracks can cause problems for motorcycles. In some situations if a motorcycle is ridden on the tracks at a crossing it can cause an accident. Motorcycles should cross railroad tracks as perpendicular to the rails as possible to avoid problems.
Buses stop at railroad tracks to ensure that trains are not close by. Buses are longer than cars and therefore need more time to get across the tracks.
Always cross any uneven but straight surface, roadway edge, railway, ramped lip...etc. at a diagonal so that only one wheel at a time crosses the edge.
if they never cross and are going in the same direction (example: railroad tracks)
No, think of them as railroad tracks. They are running in the same direction but do not cross.
It is better to cross at right angles, because it is less likely to grab the front wheel...

When approaching railroad tracks, I will first slow down and look for any warning signs or signals indicating an oncoming train. Next, I will listen for any sounds of a train and ensure the tracks are clear before proceeding. If the lights are flashing or gates are lowering, I will stop and wait for the train to pass. Finally, I will cross the tracks only when it is safe to do so, ensuring I have enough space to clear the tracks completely.
You need to reach a speed of 60 mp/h and lean forward on your motorbike. this will ensure you get across safely
