17. Railway Level Crossings

• Approach and cross a level crossing with due care.
• Always reduce speed and if you have to stop, stop at least 3 metres away from the track or immediately behind the stop line, where this is provided.
• Never drive onto a level crossing until the road is clear.
• Never try to race a train to a level crossing.
• If a train has stopped near a level crossing where there are double or multiple tracks, look and listen for any other train that might be hidden from your sight.
• Watch out for trains where there are double tracks.
