级过境点for pedestrians

如何安全地将水平交叉作为行人使用

作为行人，我们需要：

  • 专注 - 它很容易被分散注意力，特别是通过手机，音乐和谈话。
  • Stop, look and listen. Follow signs and instructions.
  • 在交叉前检查两种方式 - 如果有火车来，不要交叉。
  • 了解警告（灯，障碍，警报）。Download level crossings for pedestrians（PDF）或查看下面的指南。
  • Cross quickly, keeping children close and dogs on a lead.

我们还需要了解潜在的危险：

1. TEMPTATION
It can be tempting to run over the crossing or jump the barriers rather than wait for a train to pass. Don’t do it – you’re putting lives at risk.

2.假设
Don’t assume there is only one train or use previous experience to guess when the train is coming. Trains can come from either direction at any time.

狗
如果您的狗逃脱了您的控制并运行到铁路上，请不要在它之后腾出。

4. DISTRACTION
It’s easy to get distracted, especially by phones and music. If you’re in a group don’t assume that someone else is looking out for you.

了解水平交叉口使用的安全系统

级过境点enable us to cross the railway safely. Each is unique with differences in how often trains run, and the local geography. It’s particularly useful to understand the safety systems used at crossings:

Stop, look, listen sign

  • 此标志表示我们需要额外的警惕 - 交叉可能没有视觉或可听的警告。
alt =“”

Gates

  • 虽然有些人被铁路工作人员运营，我们可能需要开放盖茨。
  • We must make sure that there is no train coming before and immediately after opening the gates.
  • We must make sure that all gates are closed after using a crossing.
  • 如果我们在一个团体中交叉，我们必须确保每个人都有足够的时间和空间来安全地交叉。

Warning lights

  • 一些过境点有琥珀色和红色警告灯。我们必须尽快停下来，无论是琥珀色还是红色，直到灯光停止闪烁，可能有多个火车。
  • 一些过境点有红色和绿灯。当绿灯显示出来时，我们必须只交叉。

障碍

  • 警告Lightssome过境点是“开放”而且没有障碍，有些人拥有一个“全障碍”，阻挡整条路，而其他人有一个“半屏障”。
  • We must not cross until the barriers are fully raised – there may be more than one train.

警报和警报器

  • There are various types of alarms – some sound like sirens, some sound like train horns.
  • 如果我们听到警告声或消息，我们不得越过。这与鹈鹕交叉相反，声音表明它是安全的。

How long until the train actually arrives?

  • 作为用户，我们永远无法确定！在激活火车到达的警告中没有设定的时间，可能有多个火车。
