I believe it is a given that care needs to be exercised when using unmanned crossings. However, if you use the main road between Swans Corner and Guisborough the safety of cyclists is largely out of their hands being overtaken from behind by vehicles often doing seventy mph plus and are virtually inches away. Cyclists or pedestrian using this particular crossing normally have good vision of the track in both directions and the train usual sounds its horn some distance off. Thus anyone using this crossing in a sensible manner is the master of their own safety.
