At a highway railway crossing with no gates or railway signal lights, which ordinary vehicles must stop at least 5 metres from the nearest rail, unless a flagperson directs otherwise?
Correct answer: School buses and other buses, including transit buses.
Why
At the stated crossing, buses stop at least 5 metres from the nearest rail, look both ways and open a door to listen before crossing safely. School buses also have this duty at crossings protected by gates or railway signal lights. The other-bus rule has different control conditions. A flagperson can direct otherwise; applicable exemptions must be respected.
