No speed limit for crossing a railway level crossing anymore! What happened to that!

ermmm.died in the sixties! Just guessing.but I know there was no limit when I got my licence over 20 years ago.

30 kms per hour in a previous revision of the road code or when my kids learnt bout 3-5 years ago.

Nope.

Unless you read the bit about school buses or heavy vehicles or something! No idea about them.

Just looking at Google this rules seems to have been changed in 2004 or there abouts. It seems to have been superceded with stop or give way signs at un gated or non lighted or belled railway level crossings, and at level crossings with no additional stop or give way sign under the X shaped railway crossing signs you are requred to travel at such a speed that you are able to stop if you see that a train is approaching.

That would be about the time the new Road User Rule came in right! Where are you looking to see what it replaced!

Difficult to find out what the rule was, all I can find is what the rule is since 2004.

Changed in 1998 with the Land Transport Act.

Probably safer since most train/car accident are due to cars stalling on the crossing.
