What should you do if you are approaching a railway crossing with flashing lights and ringing bells?

  1. Stop at least 5 meters before the crossing.

  2. Slow down and proceed with caution.

  3. Speed up to clear the crossing quickly.

  4. Stop only if a train is visible.

The correct answer is: Stop at least 5 meters before the crossing.

Approaching a railway crossing with flashing lights and ringing bells indicates that there is a train approaching, and it is important to exercise caution. Therefore, option A is correct as it is important to stop at a safe distance of at least 5 meters before the crossing to allow the train to pass. Option B is incorrect as slowing down may not give enough time to stop before reaching the crossing. Option C is incorrect as it is dangerous to speed up and try to clear the crossing quickly. Option D is incorrect because even if a train is not visible, the lights and bells serve as a warning and stopping at the crossing is necessary.
