Tasmania · Driver Knowledge Test · Road rules

The lights at a railway crossing are flashing. What do you do?

The answer

  • Cross if no train is visible
  • Stop and wait until the lights stop and gates fully open Correct
  • Slow to 20 km/h and cross
  • Follow the car ahead

Why that's the answer

Flashing signals always mean stop — wait until they stop completely and any gates are fully raised.
