121 Stopping and giving way at a stop sign at a level crossing

A driver at a level crossing with a stop sign must –

(a) stop as near as practicable to, but before reaching, the stop line or, if there is no stop line, as near as practicable to, but before reaching, the stop sign; and

(b) give way to any train or tram on, approaching or entering the crossing.

Penalty:  Fine not exceeding 10 penalty units.

Note 1 Approaching, enter, stop line and tram are defined in the dictionary.

Note 2 For this rule, give way means the driver must remain stationary until it is safe for the driver to proceed – see the definition in the dictionary.
