Transport Infrastructure Act 1994

Pedestrians and drivers of vehicles must give way to—

a railway operator’s rolling stock on railway tracks at a level crossing; and

a railway manager’s rail vehicle on railway tracks at a level crossing.

If an accident happens at a level crossing because a person does not comply with subsection (1)—

the railway manager or operator is not liable for any injury or damage caused in the accident; and

the person must pay the railway manager or operator the cost of any damage caused to property of the manager or operator.

However, subsection (2) does not apply if the manager or operator, or its agents or employees, were negligent in relation to the accident.
