Railway Crossings

Accidents at railway crossings remind us of the importance of safety where a rail network and roads meet. No matter how many times you drive across a railway crossing, always be aware, stay alert and follow the signs and signals.

To protect the safety of you, your family and others at railway crossings:

1    Pay attention to signs and signals
2    Never enter a railway crossing if the red lights are flashing or the boom gates are down
3    Never queue across train tracks
4    Always look out for the second train
5    Remember that some railway crossings don?t have lights or boom gates. At these crossings, always follow the traffic signs and signals before driving on.

Rail safety is broader than QR - it includes communities, motorists, road and transport authorities, and the heavy vehicle industry. Together we can make a difference.
