Rail Safety Week 2026 | September 21–27

Do you know what the signs and warning devices at railway crossings mean?

Knowing what to look for and how to respond when you see them is an important part of staying safe around railway crossings and tracks.

Stop when required and obey all signs, signals, gates, and lights.
Look both ways and make sure the tracks are clear before crossing.
Never go around lowered gates or ignore flashing lights or other warning signals.
Use designated crossings and never walk along or on railway tracks.

Remember: trains are large, heavy, and can take a long distance to stop. Stay alert, know the signs, and make safe choices around railway crossings.
