A control device associated with an autonomous vehicle receives sensor data and detects that the autonomous vehicle is approaching a railroad crossing based on the sensor data. The control device determines a target lane to travel while crossing the railroad. The target lane is a lane that has available space with at least a length of the autonomous vehicle on the other side of the railroad as opposed to a side of the railroad where the autonomous vehicle is currently traveling. The control device instructs the autonomous vehicle to travel on the target lane. The control device determines that a train is approaching the railroad crossing and waits for the train to pass the railroad crossing. The control device determines that the train has passed the railroad crossing. The control device instructs the autonomous vehicle to cross the railroad.
