When you feel like it
When a clearly visible railroad signal warns of the approach of a train
After crossing a railroad track

The correct answer is: When a clearly visible railroad signal warns of the approach of a train

The correct choice emphasizes the importance of safety when approaching a railroad crossing. When a clearly visible railroad signal warns of the approach of a train, it is crucial to bring your vehicle to a complete stop. This is mandated by law to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users. Trains can come at high speeds and have very little time to stop, making it essential for drivers to heed these signals and halt their vehicles immediately. While taking a break and stopping when you feel like it may be appropriate in different contexts, they do not represent legal requirements for stopping. Additionally, stopping after crossing a railroad track is typically not necessary unless you encounter situations that require it, such as a traffic stop or if there's an obstruction ahead. However, the primary rule is to stop when a railroad signal indicates that a train is approaching, as this is a critical safety measure.
