Rules of the road

A train has passed the level crossing but the red lights keep flashing. What does this mean?

  • The lights are faulty, so you can cross
  • Another train is coming, so keep waiting
    Correct
  • You may cross if you are quick about it
  • The barrier is about to lift for you

Why?

If the red lights keep flashing after a train has passed, it means another train is coming. Rule 293 of The Highway Code says you must keep waiting until the lights stop and the barriers open.
