A. The driver of a bus defined in Section 1-105 of this title, whether the bus is occupied or unoccupied by passengers, shall not cross a railroad track or tracks at grade unless the driver stops the bus within fifty (50) feet of, and not closer than fifteen (15) feet to the tracks, listens and looks in each direction along the track for an approaching train, and ascertains that no train is approaching. When it is safe to do so, the driver may drive the bus across the tracks in a gear that permits the bus to complete without a change of gears. The driver shall not shift gears while crossing the tracks.

B. No stop need be made at any such crossing where a police officer or a traffic-control signal directs traffic to proceed.
