Penza residents were reminded of the rules of travel through railway crossings

The traffic police appealed to drivers to be extremely careful when crossing railway crossings. This section of the road is considered one of the most dangerous.

In order not to get into an accident, motorists should remember a few key rules. First of all, when approaching the move, you need to slow down. To start movement through the tracks is allowed only with an open barrier and switched off alarm. If at least one of the warning systems works - light or sound - it is forbidden to go through the crossing even with the barrier raised. In addition, in any case, regardless of the position of the barrier and signals, the driver must make sure that there is no approaching train. And only after that to move in.

Of particular danger is the careless departure for an unregulated move. The driver needs to be extremely careful in the dark and in limited visibility – in rain, fog and other difficult conditions.

A forced stop on the move, even a short one, is also extremely dangerous. It poses a real threat of collision with the train. In such a situation, the driver must immediately disembark people from the car and take them to a safe distance. After that, you need to take measures to free the move - try to tow or push the car off the rails. The main condition for safe crossing of routes remains attentiveness, caution and strict observance of road safety standards.
