Trains can take up to 14 rugby fields to stop at a level crossing. Which means even if they can see you, they can’t stop. Always take care at level crossings.

Look for approaching trains and obey the road rules, or you not only risk a fine of $439 and three demerit points, but your next crossing could be your last.

Be aware police are now targeting level crossings in the Gunnedah and Curlewis areas over the next few weeks.
