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 rollerblades across any pedestrian crossing
Do not enter the crossing until the lights have stopped flashing or the gate has opened.
