Terrace is not plagued by a large, number of rail crossings. The best-known rail crossing in the area is, of course, at Highway 16 West and Kenney St. People, who I presume are in a rush to beat the rail crossing signals, occasionally end up causing damage to their vehicles when the crossing gates: fall on them. Trying to beat the signals is a dangerous practice, and it’s illegal. Section 186 of the Motor Vehicle Act states that when a driver approaches a railway crossing at a time when an electrical or mechanical signal device gives warning ‘of. the approach of a railway train, the driver shall stop the vehicle not closer than five metres from the nearest rail of the railway and shall not cause the vehicle to proceed until he can do so safely. . a In.
