Question: At a railway crossing without lights or gates you must:
Answer options:
- Always stop ✅ Slow down, look and listen, and stop if a train is coming
- Honk and proceed
- Speed across quickly
Correct answer: Slow down, look and listen, and stop if a train is coming
Explanation: Under Québec’s Highway Safety Code, when approaching an uncontrolled railway crossing without lights or gates, you must slow down, look, and listen, stopping only if a train is approaching. Always stopping is incorrect because a complete stop is only mandatory for specific commercial vehicles, buses, or when a stop sign is present. Honking or speeding across is highly dangerous and illegal. This rule ensures drivers maintain situational awareness to prevent catastrophic collisions at passive crossings. On the SAAQ knowledge test, remembering this distinction between controlled and uncontrolled crossing duties is essential for answering right-of-way questions correctly.
