Vehicles carrying passengers or dangerous goods
Commercial vehicles transporting passengers or dangerous goods can be required by law or company policy to stop at railway crossings. Be prepared to stop when you are following a commercial vehicle near a railway crossing.
Light rail transit
Light rail transit (LRT) crossings in Calgary and Edmonton are similar to other railway crossings and require pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists to use caution in these locations.
LRT systems are powered by electricity, which makes them very quiet. These crossings use a variety of warning devices such as regular traffic signal lights, signs, bells, and gates. These warnings all mean stop and do not cross the tracks.
Never drive around the gates, even if an LRT train has just passed. Another one may be coming from the other direction. Due to its weight and speed, an LRT train may take up to 100 metres (330 feet) to stop in an emergency.
Off-highway vehicles
When driving, it is important to be aware of off-highway vehicles and their operators who may be near or attempting to cross the highway. Be cautious when encountering all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, or similar vehicles.
Funeral processions
If you are participating in a funeral procession, you are permitted to continue through an intersection with a stop sign or red traffic light without stopping. Your headlights must be turned on. You may only proceed if you are closely following the vehicle in front of you in the procession and it is safe to do so. Do not pass through a funeral procession. Yield the right-of-way until it has passed before proceeding.
