What it does

341 provides that when a person driving a vehicle approaches a railroad grade crossing and a warning is given by automatic signal, crossing gate, or flag person of the immediate approach of a railroad train or railroad track equipment, the driver is required to stop within feet but not less than feet from the nearest rail and is prohibited from proceeding until the driver can do so safely. In addition, the driver is required to stop the vehicle and not traverse the railroad grade crossing when the crossing gate is lowered or when a human flagman gives or continues to give a signal of the approach or passage of a railroad train or railroad track equipment.
