Give waysign ahead

Rail traffic must not accelerate between the trackside sign advising approach to a Type F level crossing fitted with predictor circuitry and the level crossing.

Road WorkAhead sign

Type F level crossing roadside warning equipment may be operated automatically by track-circuit, or be controlled by Qualified Workers.

YieldAhead sign

Some Type F level crossings are equipped with predictor circuitry that senses and responds to the speed of approaching rail traffic.

Before leaving a location unattended, Signallers must make sure that signals protecting level crossings with manually operated gates are set at STOP.

Qualified Workers who notice open gates at private level crossings must tell the Signaller. The Signaller must tell a Maintenance Representative.

If active control warning equipment at a road or pedestrian level crossing is faulty, the Network Controller must arrange, as necessary, for Handsignallers to protect the level crossing.

Continue driving straightahead sign

If rail traffic stops within the predictor circuitry, the type F level crossing roadside warning equipment may deactivate. After resuming travel Drivers and Track Vehicle Operators must:

If the visibility of a level crossing can be reduced by adjacent rail traffic beyond the sign, a conditional level crossing speed sign is placed in the approach to the level crossing.

Temporary level crossings may be established for Network maintenance. Possession Protection Officers and Protection Officers are responsible for the safety and protection of temporary level crossings used during maintenance work.

Network access level crossings are usually permanent crossings provided at authorised locations for Network maintenance.

Signallers must clear signals allowing approach to a level crossing with manually operated gates only after making sure that the gates have been closed across roads and walkways.

Active control uses one or more of lights, booms, gates, audible warning devices or lit signs to warn that rail traffic is approaching a level crossing.

At unattended locations other than private level crossings, Qualified Workers, train crews or track vehicle crews must make sure that manually operated gates are:

Level crossings are high risk areas where rail traffic crosses paths with road and pedestrian traffic at the same level.
