No person shall cause or permit any railway train or railway
cars or similar vehicle on rails to stop or stand or to be operated
in such a manner as to prevent the use of any street for the purposes
of travel for a period of time longer than five minutes. This provision
shall not apply to railway trains, cars or similar vehicles on rails
which are blocking or obstructing a crossing because of an accident
which requires the operator of the train, car or similar vehicle on
rails to stop at or near the scene of the accident.
