Why does safety matter so much?
Railway crossings are places where the intersection of road and rail traffic demands special attention. Every year numerous accidents occur due to the violation of basic safety rules.
Key safety rules:
- Stop at the STOP sign and make sure the track is clear.
- Do not cross if signals warn of an approaching train.
- Never bypass lowered barriers.
- Observe signage and follow road traffic regulations.
Remember: trains have a long braking distance and cannot stop immediately. Your life and the lives of passengers depend on following basic safety rules.
