Grade Crossings
A grade crossing, also known as a level crossing, is a location where a road and a railway track intersect at the same level. These crossings allow vehicles and pedestrians to cross the tracks safely, but they can also pose risks if not properly managed. Signs, signals, and gates are often used to alert drivers and walkers when a train is approaching.
To ensure safety at grade crossings, various measures are implemented, including warning lights and crossing gates. In some areas, traffic signals may also be used to control the flow of vehicles. Proper education and awareness are essential for preventing accidents at these crossings.
