Home › CDL Practice Tests › Combination Vehicles Questions › Question 190
The crossing gates begin to come down while your long combination is already crossing. What should you do?
- A.Keep going and clear the tracks; do not stop on the crossing
- B.Stop immediately wherever you are
- C.Back off the crossing the way you came
- D.Wait between the gates until the train passes
Correct answer
A. Keep going and clear the tracks; do not stop on the crossing
Why
Stopping on the tracks, for any reason, is the outcome every crossing rule is designed to prevent. A vehicle in motion across the rails should continue and clear them; gates are built to be driven through if a vehicle is trapped.
