It comes after three pedestrians were struck by trains while trying to cross the railway at Shakaskraal in three separate incidents within one week. 

One of the accidents resulted in a fatality. 

The municipality's Sipho Mkhize says they're urging communities to refrain from taking shortcuts across railway tracks.
