Answer 1

Motor vehicles carrying passengers for hire, school buses, and vehicles carrying placarded materials must stop at all railroad crossings and check for trains before proceeding, as a federally mandated safety measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Motor vehicles carrying passengers for hire, all school buses, and vehicles carrying materials or materials required to be placarded under 49 C.F.R. Parts 100-185 are subject to specific regulations at railroad crossings. These vehicles must come to a full stop at all railroad crossings to check for oncoming trains, despite any signals or lack thereof, before proceeding. This safety measure helps to prevent accidents involving trains and is a federally mandated regulation to ensure the safety of passengers and hazardous materials being transported.
