Railway transport is considered one of the safest in the world. However, it is important to remember that it 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, walkways, and also in places where special signs are installed;

 Before crossing the tracks via a pedestrian walkway, ensure that there is no approaching train;

 When a train approaches, stop, let it pass, and only after ensuring that there is no rolling stock moving on adjacent tracks, continue crossing;

 Boarding/alighting from carriages should only be done after the train has come to a complete stop, from 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 from the opposite direction is approaching;

 crawl under carriages and climb over couplers to cross the tracks;

 walk along the railway track within 5 meters of the outer rail;

 ride on the roofs, steps, or transition platforms of carriages;

 board or alight from a moving train;

 stick your head out of carriage windows or vestibule doors while the train is moving;

 exit the carriage into the inter-track space 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 and tracks;

 run on the platform alongside an arriving or departing train, or be within two meters of the platform edge when a train passes without stopping.
