(A) Protected railroad crossings. All vehicles and the operators of all vehicles shall stop wherever any protected railroad grade crossing indicates the presence of a train by flashing lights, lowering or raising of gates, or the extinguishment of a green light, or by means of any other automatic crossing protection which indicates the fact that a train is approaching the crossing and the automatic crossing protection begins to function.
(B) Unguarded crossings. It shall be the duty of the operator of every motor vehicle approaching any railroad grade crossing which is not protected by an automatic crossing protection consisting of either gates or red flashing lights, to bring his or her automobile or vehicle to a stop within 50 feet of the nearest rail, and he or she shall then look to the right and to the left and ascertain that it is safe to proceed before proceeding across the crossing.
