Safety on railway crossings

Stop, look, listen and think at level crossings

Stop. Obey the safety signs at every railway crossing and make sure you cross at marked crossings only.
Stay on the path and stay safe by looking and listening in both directions for approaching trains.
If the red lights are flashing or the gate is closed, a train is coming so keep clear of the tracks.
Never jump fences, gates or barriers. This is extremely dangerous and it is very likely the oncoming train is close to the crossing.
Look. If a train is coming, please wait for it to pass and then stop, look and listen again before crossing as another train may be approaching.
Listen. You might not hear a train when using your earphones or phone. Never assume a train is a long way off.
Think. Always obey all the warning signs. Don't ride bicycles, skateboards, skates or roller-blades across any pedestrian crossing.
Do not enter the crossing until the lights have stopped flashing or the gate has opened.
