Our message is simple – use crossings safely.“It may be tempting to jump a light to shave a minute or two off your journey, but every time you do, you endanger your life and the lives of other road and rail users.“Fail to obey the signals and you may also end up with a driving ban or a criminal record. Is it really worth the risk?”Officers fleet of Mobile Safety Vehicles will be stationed at crossings across the country.
