In Rhodesia when I was a fireman, all traffic had to stop at any level crossing whether there was a train coming or not. I have known the police to sit near a crossing and watch for a vehicle to cross without stopping, then book the driver. Bare in mind, like Aus. some crossings were way out in the bush, miles from anywhere and were just a train crossing sign and a hump of earth for a crossing. Shows how times have changed.
