Railway transport has always been and remains an object of increased danger. To avoid becoming a victim of an accident, it is necessary to know and observe the following safety rules for pedestrians and passengers:
Railway tracks must be crossed only at designated places, using pedestrian bridges, tunnels, level crossings, and platforms, as well as in places where special signs are installed;
Before crossing the tracks on a pedestrian crossing, you must make sure that there is no approaching train;
When a train approaches, you must stop, let it pass, and only after ensuring that there is no moving rolling stock on adjacent tracks, continue crossing;
Boarding and alighting from carriages should only be done after the train has come to a complete stop, on the side of the platform or boarding platform.
It is forbidden to:
walk on railway tracks;
cross railway tracks in front of an approaching train, or immediately after a train from the opposite direction has passed, without ensuring that no train is approaching from the opposite direction;
crawl under carriages and climb over couplers to cross the tracks;
walk along the railway track closer than 5 meters from the outer rail;
ride on the roofs, steps, or transition platforms of carriages;
board or alight from a moving train;
lean out of carriage windows or vestibule doors while the train is moving;
exit the carriage onto the space between tracks and stand there when a train from the opposite direction is passing;
jump from the platform onto the railway tracks;
engage in active games on the platform or tracks;
run on the platform next to an arriving or departing train, or be closer than two meters from the edge of the platform when a train passes without stopping.
The Department of Internal Affairs of the Lepel District Executive Committee appeals to all passengers with a sincere request to observe the safety rules for citizens on railway transport and not to save time at the expense of their own well-being.
