8 Requirements for pedestrian and cycle level crossings
8.6 Active protection
Active protection for pedestrians, particularly at isolated pedestrian level crossings, may be justified.
The types of protection include:
- bells plus flashing lights or flashing indicators
- ‘Second Train Coming’ illuminated signs
- automatic pedestrian gates.
The level of protection is largely determined by the pedestrian (and cycle) demand and the frequency of train use.
