Local drivers might be forced to stop at a railway crossing today as part of Rail Safety Week.
Railway police are conducting safety blitzes at crossings right across the country.
National director of Operation Lifesaver Dan Di Tota says they may be inconvenient, but they're designed to make motorists think twice every time they approach crossings.
"Day after day they go over these crossings there are no trains and then there's the one day the trains show up," says Di Tota. "They can't allow for complacency to set in."
Today's blitz will occur in Couchiching with another planned tomorrow at the crossing on McIrvine Road in Fort Frances.
