Trains can't swerve or stop quickly – but drivers can.
Follow these tips to stay safe:
- Slow down, look both ways, and cross only if your vehicle can fully clear the tracks.
- Stop at least 15 feet from the nearest rail when a train is approaching.
- Never drive around lowered gates – saving time isn’t worth risking lives.
- Check for multiple trains – look again before crossing each track.
- If your vehicle stalls on the tracks, exit immediately and move away. Call the number posted at the crossing or dial 911.
