Railway Crossing Rules

Railway crossings are dangerous locations where trains and vehicles can collide. To prevent accidents, it is important to obey the rules at railway crossings.

At guarded railway crossings, a pair of signs is utilized for warning approaching traffic. The first sign, placed 200 meters before the crossing, provides advance warning. The second sign is positioned close to the crossing for immediate notification.

The rules for railway crossings are as follows:

• When a train is approaching, the crossing gates will come down and the lights will start flashing.
• Vehicles must stop behind the crossing gates and wait for the train to pass.
• Do not attempt to cross the tracks until the crossing gates have fully opened and the lights have stopped flashing.
• Never try to go around the crossing gates.
• Be aware of trains that may be approaching from either direction.
• If you are stopped on the tracks, abandon your vehicle and move to a safe location.

Penalties for violating railway crossing rules can include:

• Fines
• Imprisonment
• Loss of license

By following the rules at railway crossings, you can help to prevent accidents and save lives.
