Part 9: Level crossings

Last updated: December 2008. This document ceases to be a controlled document when printed. Please refer to the current version at www.landtransport.govt.nz

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.
