Few situations in motoring are more traumatic than to be at the wheel of a vehicle that stalls in the middle of a level crossing. But if you have a basic understanding of level crossings, of the different types used and how they work, and follow some elementary precautions, then you should never get caught in this situation.
Automatic half-barrier crossings
- In this type of crossing the barrier descends only over the left-hand half of the road on each approach side.
- Flashing lights are operated automatically by the train. Warning amber lights flash first then red ones.
- You should never try to drive in a zigzag round the closed barriers, against the lights. This could be fatal.
- As you drive over the crossing don't be tempted to look up and down the track. Keep your eyes on the crossing.
- As you approach the level crossing and you see the barriers are closed, check in your rear view mirror for other traffic.
- Always be aware of other road users as you cross. Look out for pedestrians and cyclists who may also be crossing.
