An unprotected railroad crossing refers to a crossing that lacks any signals or barriers to warn or stop vehicles, such as flashing lights or gates. This means drivers need to be extra vigilant when approaching these areas, as there’s no automated system in place to alert them of an incoming train. In many regions, unprotected crossings are marked with warning signs or pavement markings, but caution is crucial. Unfortunately, these crossings can often lead to accidents due to a driver's failure to look for approaching trains. Always stop, look, and listen before crossing!
