After a train has passed, what should you do?

Once a train has passed, it is essential to check again for approaching trains before proceeding. This practice is crucial because trains can come from either direction, and there may be multiple trains running on the same tracks or another train following closely behind the one that just passed.

By taking the time to look for any upcoming trains, you ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. It’s a responsible action to verify that the tracks are clear. Ignoring this step may lead to dangerous situations, as trains can be traveling at high speeds and have significant stopping distances, making it difficult to avoid a collision if a driver doesn’t check first.
