You arrive at a railroad crossing. The red lights are flashing, the signal bell is sounding, and the crossing gates are starting to be lowered. Which of the following is true?

At a railroad crossing, you must stop for any of the following: a flashing red light, a lowered crossing gate, a stop sign, a flagperson (flagger) who signals you to stop, or (of course) an approaching train. If you must stop, you must do so before the stop line. If there is no stop line, you must stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail. (Trains are at least six feet wider than the tracks they run on, so you don't want to be too close.) Never try to beat a train. Trains can't yield the right of way to you. A train traveling at 60 mph can take more than a mile to come to a complete stop. [Railroad Crossings; 5. Railroad Crossings, Light Rail and Street Cars; Oregon Driver Manual], [ORS 811.455]
