Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Road rules

How far can a train overhang the outside of its tracks?

The answer

  • Only on curves
  • It does not overhang the rails at all
  • Up to one metre wider than the tracks on both sides Correct
  • Up to three metres on both sides

Why that's the answer

Drive Safe warns that a train can be up to one metre wider than the tracks on both sides. That is why waiting 'just clear of the rails' is not clear at all.
