Road traffic

Railway level crossing offences

Crossing railway tracks depends on signals, barrier movement and the ability to clear the crossing. Entry time matters as much as exit time.

What to check in your case

Describe signals and any queue beyond the crossing. Identify the rail line and precise site so records can be located.

Documents for your defence

Full notice or decision, front and back, and evidence of the date of service.
