He shall also keep a vigilant look-out for approaching trains, and shall not attempt to pass over the crossing unless the line is clear, and shall not pass over such crossing at a greater speed than ten miles an hour.

3. Every person guilty of a breach of any of the provisions of this by-law shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £5.
