This Week’s Blue Light Special – Level Crossings

With the cane crushing season fast approaching this means that cane rail crossings will soon be in use again. So this week we will look at level crossings.

After waiting at a level crossing for a train to pass a driver can enter the crossing if:

1. they have clearly seen the train pass and it is safe to do so whilst the lights are still flashing
2. they treat the flashing lights as a stop sign – stop as near as possible to the stop line, give way to any train entering the crossing and then proceed if safe to do so
3. the lights have ceased flashing and it is safe to do so.

Is answer 1, 2 or 3 correct? Leave us your answer as a comment and next week we will reveal the correct response.
