What should you do if you start crossing a railroad track and the crossing lights start flashing?

Explanation:
Flashing railroad crossing lights are a clear warning that a train may be approaching. The safest action is to stop before you reach the tracks and wait until the signals stop flashing and the crossing is clearly clear of any train or vehicle. Trains can be closer and faster than they appear, and you must not attempt to drive through a crossing while the lights are active. Staying in the vehicle with your seat belt on and waiting for the all-clear is the responsible choice. Driving through, or backing up, while the warning signals are on is dangerous and not appropriate.
