“Trains, by nature, appear to be moving slow at a distance, resulting in motorists miscalculating their speed. However, they are fast moving and aren’t able to make sudden stops.

“Therefore, we urge all road users and pedestrians to continue to exercise extreme caution when approaching level crossings and to adhere to warning signals.”
