Is it legal to pass a vehicle at a railroad crossing?

Yes, if the path is clear.
No, it is illegal.
Only if the train is not in sight.
Yes, only during daylight hours.

The correct answer is: No, it is illegal.

Passing a vehicle at a railroad crossing is illegal because it poses significant safety risks. Railroad crossings are designed to manage traffic in an area where trains could be approaching at high speeds. When vehicles are stopped at these crossings, it is often due to signals or signs indicating that a train is approaching. Attempting to pass a vehicle in this situation could lead to serious accidents, as visibility may be limited, and the time it takes to make the maneuver could prevent the driver from noticing an oncoming train. Thus, the law strictly prohibits this action to ensure the safety of all road users and rail traffic.
