Trains can take 2km to stop in an emergency.
It’s up to drivers to make sure trains can pass safely before crossing regional railway tracks.
As you travel through regional and rural areas, be sure to drive safely around regional rail crossings, particularly those that don't have boom gates, lights and bells to warn you of oncoming trains.
Remember to slow down, look and listen for trains.
