Show answer & explanationHide answer

Correct answer: Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and it is safe to cross

You must stop whenever the warning bells or flashing red lights are operating, and only drive on once they have stopped and you are certain no more trains are coming. Also never enter a crossing unless there is room to completely clear the other side.
