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.

An uncontrolled railroad crossing warning sign is typically yellow with a black symbol. The sign features a graphic of a railroad crossing and may include the words "RAILROAD CROSSING." This color combination is used to alert drivers to the potential danger of an approaching train without any control measures in place.
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.
If you're approaching a railroad crossing with no warning devices, it's crucial to proceed with caution. Reduce your speed and look both ways for any oncoming trains before crossing the tracks. Always be prepared to stop, as trains can come unexpectedly and may not be visible until they are very close. If you don't see or hear a train, cross safely, but remain vigilant for any signs of approaching trains.

When approaching an intersection, bridge, or railroad crossing, you should never drive on the left half of the roadway when it is marked with solid lines or when visibility is limited. Additionally, avoid passing other vehicles in these areas as it can create dangerous situations due to the potential for oncoming traffic or obstacles. Always ensure you have a clear view and the right of way before proceeding. Safety should be your primary concern in these scenarios.
