The crossing gate is down but you cannot see a train. May you drive around it?
Correct answer: No; stay stopped until the gate is raised, lights stop flashing and the tracks are clear.
A lowered gate is not optional merely because the train is out of view. Check all tracks before proceeding after the warnings end.

An approaching motorcycle has its turn signal on, but its actual intended movement is not yet clear. Should you pull from your driveway in front of it?
