Even when no train is coming, which type of vehicle is required to halt at every set of railroad tracks?

Answer options

Why

Tank trucks that carry hazardous materials placards must stop before every railroad crossing, whether or not a train is approaching. Motor homes, pickups with trailers, and vehicles that are simply large or heavy have no such blanket rule, although every driver must stop when a train is coming.
