Once railroad crossing lights and gates are activated, or you hear the horn of an approaching train, you have about 20 seconds before the train arrives.
Trains can take a mile or more to stop, and an approaching train is closer and moving faster than it appears, so it could be fatal to misjudge it.

Large commercial vehicles have blind spots, called 'no zones', where the truck driver cannot see other vehicles, increasing crash risk if you linger there.
