When stopping at a crossing, keep at least five metres away from the nearest rail in a restricted speed area and at least 15 metres away in a non-restricted speed area. A restricted speed area means any area within Winnipeg, an urban municipality, a local urban district under the Municipal Act or any other area, highway or portion of highway designated by regulation.

If you see a train approaching, be prepared to stop. Motorists can seriously misjudge the speed of trains, believing they’re travelling much slower than they actually are or incorrectly assuming that trains must slow down at railway crossings.

Since most railway crossings don’t have electronic signals warning you when to stop, the most important rule to recognize is that trains automatically have the right-of-way at all railway crossings. In other words, at railway crossings, the safety of you and your passengers depends entirely on you, the driver.

The signs below indicate a railway crossing ahead. Slow down, check to the right and left along the angle of the track shown in the sign, and proceed only when safe.

For railway crossing procedures, drivers of for-hire vehicles, school buses and vehicles capable of transporting flammable liquid or gas should consult the Professional Driver’s Handbook.
