1
Q

What shall you do when coming up on a railway crossing? Provide answers for both crossings with and without barriers/lights)

A

Do NOT stop at the crossings with automatic warning devices such as barriers and signal lights. If you stop and impede the traffic, it is an AUTOMATIC FAIL.

Near the driving centre in Hamilton, most crossings are equipped with the barriers and signal lights. Just drive through as you would in a regular car.

If the railway has no barriers or lights, it will be marked with a sign.

  1. Stop 5 metres before the crossing.
  2. Turn hazard lights on
  3. Open both windows, look and listen
  4. If there is no approaching train, start driving but continue looking and listening
  5. Turn the hazards off, close the windows
