When approaching a railway crossing with flashing lights, you should:

  1. Slow down and proceed with caution.

  2. Speed up to clear the crossing quickly.

  3. Stop at least 5 meters before the crossing.

  4. Stop only if a train is visible.

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

When approaching a railway crossing with flashing lights, it is important to slow down and proceed with caution. This is because as a driver, you should always be prepared to stop at a railway crossing in case a train is coming. Speeding up to clear the crossing quickly is dangerous as it increases the likelihood of accidents. Stopping at least 5 meters before the crossing allows for enough space for your vehicle and a safe distance from any approaching train. Stopping only if a train is visible is also incorrect as a train can approach the crossing at any time. It is important to always stop and check for any oncoming trains at railway crossings to ensure the safety of yourself and others.
