Using Railway Crossings Safely
If you're walking or cycling towards a crossing, remember:
-
read the warning signs and follow the instructions carefully.
-
cyclists should dismount and walk across the crossing.
-
children and animals should be suitably supervised at all times.
-
stop, look both ways and listen.
-
when the line is clear, cross quickly without running, still looking and listening as you go.
-
if there is a gate, always close it behind you.
If you're driving:
- follow the Highway Code as well as the local warning signs when approaching a level crossing or any other form of crossing.
- warning lights, audible alarms and automatic barriers must always be observed.
- don’t be tempted to jump the lights or beat the barriers.
- be responsible, set a good example.
THINK SAFE. STAY SAFE. STAY OFF THE TRACKS
