Queensland · PrepL Road Rules Test · Road rules

At a railway crossing with flashing lights, you must…

The answer

  • Cross if you can't see a train
  • Stop and stay stopped until the lights stop flashing and gates fully open Correct
  • Slow to 20 km/h and cross
  • Follow the vehicle ahead

Why that's the answer

Flashing signals always mean stop. Wait until they stop completely and any boom gates are fully raised — a second train may be coming.
