When you drive near a railroad crossing, an alert appears on the map. The alert stays on your screen until you cross the railroad tracks.
Note: Railroad crossings are added to the map based on reports from our partners and map editors. If a railroad crossing wasn't reported by an editor or partner, Waze may not know about it.
