When driving near a railroad crossing, what should you do?

Come to a complete stop and then cross the tracks
Cross at speeds over 20 mph
Accelerate to get across the tracks quickly
Look both ways and proceed slowly

The correct answer is: Look both ways and proceed slowly

When driving near a railroad crossing, it is important to look both ways and proceed slowly. This allows you to check for any oncoming trains and give yourself enough time to come to a complete stop if necessary. Cross at speeds over 20 mph is incorrect because it is important to approach railroad crossings with caution and not speed through them. Accelerating to get across the tracks quickly is also incorrect because it can be dangerous and increase the risk of an accident. Coming to a complete stop before crossing is also not recommended as it can cause issues for other drivers and potentially lead to a collision. Therefore, the best option is to look both ways and proceed slowly when near a railroad crossing.
