Vehicles Crossing Tracks In Front Of Train; Video…
A railway level crossing is a point where the road crosses over a railway line. This means you drive over the railway tracks and could come into the path of a train. Because of this, you need to be very careful around railway level crossings to avoid a very serious crash.
When you see a railway cross, slow down and be ready to stop as you come up to the railway crossing, search up and down the railway line. You will need to search further up the railway line, as trains often travel at a higher speed than vehicles on the road
cross only if you are sure there are no trains coming in either direction and there are no vehicles stopped in front of you on the other side of the crossing.
Many railway level crossings are controlled by flashing red signals, bells and/or barrier arms. You must stop if the signals have started flashing, the bells have started ringing and/or the barrier arm has started to lower.
Don’t cross until the barrier arms have lifted, the lights have stopped flashing and the bells have stopped ringing.
