Question: 1 / 400

When driving across a railway level crossing, what must you check?

If there are no pedestrians nearby

If there is space for your vehicle on the other side of the line

When driving across a railway level crossing, it is crucial to check if there is space for your vehicle on the other side of the line. This check ensures that you will not become trapped on the tracks if you encounter an unexpected situation, such as a train approaching. If there isn’t enough space to fully clear the crossing, you risk being in a dangerous position where your vehicle could be struck by a train, leading to serious consequences.

Safety at railway crossings prioritizes not only avoiding collisions with trains but also ensuring that you don’t block the tracks, which could endanger both yourself and any other road users. It's important to look ahead and assess whether you have enough room to cross safely before entering the crossing area.
