(2)

The rails of the railway shall be laid and maintained within the areas of the level crossings so that the upper surface is upon a level with the surface of the access way or the footpath as the case may be, and the surface over the level crossings shall be maintained in good and even condition.

(3)

Access across the railway at each of the level crossings shall be provided by a self-closing gate on each side of the railway opening away from the railway.

(5)

The Company shall not within the area of the level crossings obstruct or hinder traffic or persons passing along the access way or footpath for longer than is reasonably necessary in taking any train, engine or carriage across the access way or footpath.
