(However, leaving the scene of an accident without stopping is a criminal offense punishable by fines and jail time.)

If there is no stop line, then you must stop before entering the marked or unmarked crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk either, you must stop before entering the intersection. After stopping and yielding to pedestrians, you can drive up to the edge of the intersection to get a better view and proceed when safe.

Not quite. The answer is You must not drive on the railroad tracks.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign means that you are not allowed to drive on the railroad tracks.

Not quite. The answer is Stop if it is safe to do so.

A steady yellow traffic light is a warning that the traffic light will soon turn red. You should try to stop if it is safe to do so. (Never speed up to try to "beat the light" before it turns red.) But don't stop suddenly and risk skidding or getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution into the intersection.
