 As you come to a crossing, slow down, listen and look both ways before crossing the tracks.
 Do not cross the track until you are sure the train or trains have passed.
 If a train is coming, stop at least five metres from the nearest rail or gate.
 Never race a train to the crossing.
 If there are signals, wait until they stop flashing and, if the crossing has a barrier, wait until it rises before you cross.
 Never drive around, under or through a railway gate while it is down or is being lowered or raised.
 Avoid shifting gears on a railway crossing. Never stop on the tracks.
 If you get trapped on a crossing, immediately get out of the vehicle and move quickly from the track and vehicle to a safe location. Contact the police.
