How far should you park from a railway crossing?

Keep at least fifteen metres away from a railway crossing when you park. This minimum distance ensures you have a clear view of signals and any gates, gives trains room to operate safely without your vehicle being too close, and prevents blocking the crossing for other road users. You can park farther back if space allows, but you should not park closer than fifteen metres. If signs specify a different distance, follow those signs.
