Purpose and classification of level crossings

For crossing railways at the same level with automobile, urban and other types of roads and passing through railway tracks of urban, automobile and horse-drawn transport, agricultural, road-building and other self-propelled vehicles, driving cattle, as well as pedestrian passage level crossings... Places of intersections of railways by motor roads at one level are established by the head of the road. The passage of vehicles and self-propelled vehicles, as well as the driving of livestock through the paths in unidentified places is prohibited; the duty to monitor the fulfillment of this requirement is vested in railway workers.

The main requirement for level crossings- this is their good condition and good visibility. Visibility is considered satisfactory when, when located at a distance of 50 m or less from the level crossing, a train approaching from either side is visible at least 400 m away, and the train driver can see the level crossing at least 1000 m away. do at right angles. In difficult conditions, this angle can be reduced to 60 °.

The arrangement of crossings across station tracks is possible only in places that do not affect the useful length of the tracks and active exhaust and running tracks. A crossing device in the necks of district stations from the side of the traction facility is not recommended, since this place of the station is the most congested movement of locomotives and shunting work.

Within the station, crossings should preferably be located between the input signal and the entrance switch, this provides free passage for vehicles in the event of an arriving train stopping at a closed input signal. In relation to the turnouts, the crossings are located at a distance of no closer than 5 m from the wits or from the root of the cross, which guarantees the arrows from clogging. The crossing should be no closer than 100 m from the end of the passenger platforms.

Level crossings are divided into the following categories:

I - level crossings at the intersection of the railroad with highways of I and II categories; with streets and roads with regular bus, tram or trolleybus traffic; when crossing four or more main paths.

II - level crossings at the intersection of the railroad with motor roads of the III category; with roads and streets with regular bus traffic, but the intensity during peak hours is less than 8 train-buses per hour; with city streets without trolleybus or bus traffic; with highways, when the greatest daily work of the crossing exceeds 50 thousand train-carriages; in case of intersection of three main paths.

III - crossings at the intersection of the railway with motorways and horse-drawn roads with the greatest daily work of more than 10 thousand train-crews and satisfactory visibility and more than 1 thousand train-crews with unsatisfactory visibility, if by all other indicators they cannot be attributed to relocations of I and II categories.

IV - all other crossings at the intersection of the railway with inactive roads.

Crossings of categories I and II are routinely replaced by intersections at different levels (overpasses). Under no circumstances is it allowed to construct new level I crossings or open tram or trolleybus traffic on existing ones.

Crossings, depending on the intensity and speed of trains and road transport, equipment with automatic devices and visibility conditions, are divided into guarded and unguarded. Movements of I and II categories and partially of III category are serviced around the clock by the moving officers. Transfers within stations with a lot of shunting work are also protected.

Duty of the moving officer- ensuring the safe movement of trains and road transport at the level crossing. He must promptly open and close the crossing, give established signals, observe the condition of passing trains and, in case of detecting malfunctions that threaten traffic safety, take measures to stop them.

Arrangement and equipment of level crossings

Level crossings must have(fig. 1):

• typical reinforced concrete or wood flooring;
• entrances;
• barriers covering all or part of the carriageway, with signal lights on the barriers;
• clearance gates (on electrified lines) with a width of at least the width of the crossing, and a height of no more than 4.5 m, in order to prevent the possibility of breaking or short-circuiting the contact wire with bulky loads;
• warning signs "Beware of trains" from the side of the road, installed 20 m from the nearest rail, and signal signs "C" (whistle) from the side of the approach of trains.

The width of the level crossing is taken to be equal to the width of the carriageway, but not less than 6 m, which allows simultaneous two-way traffic. As an exception, pedestrian crossings with a carriageway of at least 4.5 m can be maintained until the conversion, but agricultural vehicles are not allowed to pass along such crossings.

Rice. 1 - General view of the guarded railway crossing: 1 - crossing point; 2 - railings (fences); 3 - automatic barrier; 4 - spare barriers (manual); 5 - overall gate; 6 - warning sign "Beware of the train"; 7 - road sign "Railway crossing with a barrier"; 8 - culvert; 9 - columns; 10 - tubes for installing portable red signals; 11 - obstruction traffic light; 12 - reinforced concrete floor slabs; 13 - signal sign "C"

Entrances to the crossing are fenced off with posts installed on the roadside. The columns, depending on local conditions, are installed for at least 16 m, and if the height of the embankment of the entrances is more than 1 m - along the entire length of such an embankment every 1.5 m. Railings are arranged between the railway track and the barriers. If livestock is often driven along the crossings, then, if necessary, the railings are replaced with fences, and barriers are suspended from the barriers.

Along the track rails for free passage of the flanges of the wheels of the rolling stock, gutters with a width of 75-95 mm and a depth of at least 45 mm are arranged; in curves with a radius of less than 600 m, the width of the gutter is increased to 110 mm. So that the tracks of the tractor or the metal runners of the sled do not close the electric track circuits, the top of the flooring between the track rails is arranged 30-40 mm above the rail heads.

On each side of the crossing, the motor road must have horizontal platforms not less than 15 m from the outer rail when the crossing is located in the notch (Fig. 2, a) and at least 15 m - on the embankment (Fig. 2, b). Approaches to sites should not be steeper than 0.05 and should have asphalt, concrete or stone pavement.

Rice. 2 - Longitudinal profile of a railway crossing: a- in the recess; b- on the embankment

Barriers installed on both sides of the crossing at a distance of no closer than 8.5 m from the extreme rail. The height of the barrier in the closed position is 1.25 m.In case of two-way traffic on the crossing, the barrier should overlap on the right side of the traffic movement up to 2/3 of the width of the carriageway, and on the left side there may be an unblocked part of the road no more than 3 m wide. of the carriageway for at least 20 m from the barriers to the side of the road, white paint is applied to "center lines" with a width of at least 0.1 m. Lanterns on the barrier beams of the barriers, when they are closed, show a red light in the direction of the carriage road, and when open - transparent white.

Barriers are automatic and manual. When a train approaches, at crossings with automatic barriers and automatic traffic signaling, a sound signal starts to work, red flashing lights on the barriers and traffic lights that protect the crossing from the side of the approach of road transport light up, and after a while, sufficient to remove cars from the crossing, the barriers automatically close.

Automatic warning alarm also used with manual barriers. When a train approaches, it gives sound and light signals. The start time for signaling is calculated so that the crossing can be cleared before the train arrives. Automatic signaling traffic lights are installed on the roadside on the right side at least 6 m from the extreme rail. All crossings of I and II categories and, depending on the intensity and speed of trains and road transport and visibility conditions, crossings of III and IV categories should be equipped with a traffic light or sound warning automatic signaling.

Equipping railway crossings with barriers is of great importance. traffic lights(Fig. 3), which are installed on the right side of the railway track at a distance of at least 15 m and no more than 800 m from the crossing. A red light on them is turned on by pressing a button in case there is an obstacle to the movement of trains at the crossing. Entrance, exit, checkpoint and route traffic lights located at the same distance from the crossing, if the visibility of the crossing from the place of their installation is provided, can be used as barriers.

Rice. 3 - Obstacle traffic light

The mechanized barrier is activated by the crossing officer. The normal position of automatic barriers is open; they are closed only for the duration of the passage of each train, and non-automatic ones are closed. These barriers are opened only when necessary and it is possible to pass motor vehicles, agricultural vehicles or livestock through the crossing. In some cases, at level crossings with heavy car traffic, the normal open position of non-automatic barriers can be set.

All guarded crossings must have direct telephone communication with the nearest station or post (in areas with centralized dispatching - with the train dispatcher on duty) or radio communication. All crossings of categories I and II, as well as the rest, if they are located near permanent sources of power supply, must have electric lighting. The movement of bulky vehicles, agricultural, road, construction, low-speed and other machines and mechanisms through the railway crossing, the transportation of especially heavy loads (large factory equipment, powerful transformers, bridge trusses, etc.) is allowed in each individual case only with the permission of the relevant persons and under the supervision of a road foreman or a track foreman, and on electrified sections with a cargo height of more than 4.5 m and in the presence of a contact network distance representative.

"INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING RAILWAY CROSSINGS OF THE RUSSIAN Ministry of Railways" (approved by the RF Ministry of Railways on 06/29/98 N TsP-566)

3. Arrangement and equipment of level crossings

3.1. All the arrangements for crossings must comply with the requirements of the Rules for the technical operation of railways of the Russian Federation, this Instruction, standard projects, the Rules of the road of the Russian Federation, GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of organizing road traffic. Application rules", GOST R 50597-93 "Highways and Streets. Requirements for the operational state permissible under the conditions of ensuring road safety ", and in the design of newly built and reconstructed public highways and access roads to industrial enterprises - and the requirements of building codes and regulations" Highways ", SNiP 2.05.02- 85. In accordance with the requirements of GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of traffic management. Application rules" the need to install traffic lights (type 6) at level crossings is determined by the relevant technical and regulatory documentation approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia. In special cases, it is allowed, upon agreement with the Ministry of Railways of Russia, to use traffic lights of type 1.1.1 - 1.1.3, 1.1.16, 1.1.17 at crossings.

3.2. Crossings should be located mainly on straight sections of railways and highways outside the limits of excavations and places where satisfactory visibility conditions are not provided.

The intersections of railways by roads should be carried out mainly at right angles. If this condition cannot be met, the acute angle between intersecting roads must be at least 60 degrees. Existing crossings located at a sharper angle must be rebuilt simultaneously with the reconstruction of highways.

3.3. On existing crossings for at least 10 m from the extreme rail, the road in the longitudinal profile must have a horizontal platform or a vertical curve of a large radius, or a slope due to the excess of one rail over another when the intersection is in a curved section of track.

The longitudinal slope of the road approaches to the crossing for at least 20 m in front of the site should be no more than 50 thousandths.

During the reconstruction and construction of new highways, the approaches should be installed in such a way that for at least 2 m from the extreme rail, the road in the longitudinal profile has a horizontal platform.

Approaches of the motor road to the crossing for at least 50 m should be designed with a longitudinal slope of no more than 30 thousandths.

In difficult conditions (mountainous areas, city streets, etc.), the profile of the road at the approaches to the crossings can be individual, agreed with the State Automobile Inspectorate and road operating organizations or other road owners.

When approaching the crossing of automobile unpaved roads (without a hard surface), a hard coating must be applied for at least 10 m from the head of the outer rail in both directions.

3.4. Newly created protective forest plantations should provide vehicle drivers at a distance of 50 m or less from the crossing with the visibility of an approaching train at a distance of at least 500 m.

3.5. The carriageway on the approaches to the crossing and within its boundaries, as well as the flooring, signal posts, railings and fences of a barrier or parapet type must correspond to the standard crossing project.

The width of the carriageway of the crossing must be equal to the width of the carriageway of the motor road, but not less than 6 m, and the width of the flooring in the places where livestock is driven - not less than 4 m.

The flooring of the crossing must comply with the structure approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia. The path under the decking can be either wooden or reinforced concrete sleepers.

On the outside of the track, the deck should be flush with the top of the rail heads. The deviation of the top of the rail head located within the carriageway, relative to the covering, is not allowed more than 2 cm.

Inside the track, the flooring must be higher than the rail heads within 1 - 3 cm. With rubber-cord or polymer flooring material, lowering the interrail flooring below the level of the rail heads is not allowed.

On operated crossings, before reorganization in a planned manner, the elevation of the flooring within the track is allowed within 3 - 4 cm.

Depending on the design of the deck, according to the standard design, counter rails can be laid within the deck to ensure the unimpeded passage of the wheelsets of the rolling stock. Their ends at a length of 50 cm are bent inside the track by 25 cm. The width of the gutter is set in the range of 75 - 110 mm, and the depth is not less than 45 mm.

At crossings with attendants inside the track of each track (on single-track sections - on both sides), at a distance of 0.75 - 1.0 m from the flooring, fixtures in the form of metal tubes are fixed for installing portable train stop signals (red shield, lantern), as well as devices for determining the bottom oversize of the rolling stock (Fig. 1)<*>.

Racks of barriers, masts of traffic lights for crossing signaling, fences, railings and guide posts (Fig. 2) should be located at a distance of at least 0.75 m from the edge of the carriageway. Guide posts are installed on both sides of the crossing at a distance of 2.5 to 16 m from the outer rails every 1.5 m.

To drive livestock at crossings, railings or barrier-type fences made of reinforced concrete, wood or metal with a height of 1.2 m are installed, and protective nets are suspended from spare barriers.

Crossings are painted in accordance with the requirements of GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of traffic management. Application rules".

At the crossings from the side of the road, road signs are installed (color tab, Fig. 1).

Before such level crossings, prior to their reorganization, in order to improve traffic safety, the head of the railway may, in some cases, establish a permanent speed limit for trains.

3.8. On the approaches to the cattle drive site, at a distance of 20 m from the outer rails, there are signs with inscriptions in Russian and local languages: “Beware of the train! to prevent vehicles from entering the path.

3.9. On electrified lines on both sides of the crossing, road prohibitory signs are installed 3.13 "Height limit" with a number on the sign "4.5 m" (color tab, Fig. 1) at a distance of at least 5 m from the barrier, and in their absence - at least 14 m from the end rail.

3.10. On the approaches to level crossings from the side of highways in front of the barriers, and where they are not there, in front of the road warning sign 1.3.1 or 1.3.2, in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulations, road warning signs 1.1 "Level crossing with a barrier" or 1.2 "Level crossing without barrier "at a distance of 150 - 300 m, and in settlements - at a distance of 50 - 100 m from the extreme rail and other road signs (color tab, Fig. 2, 3).

Signs 1.1 and 1.2 should be duplicated on roads with three or more lanes for traffic in both directions, as well as on roads with one or two lanes for traffic in both directions, if the distance of visibility of the crossing outside settlements is less than 300 m, and in settlements - less than 100 m

Works on the repair and maintenance of highways - approaches to crossings of general and non-public use to the ends of the sleepers of the nearest rails are carried out at the expense of the owners of these roads.

In this case, work within 10 m from the ends of the sleepers of the near rails is carried out in agreement with the track distance in the presence of an employee authorized by the management of the track distance.

3.11. Crossings with attendants are equipped with barriers.

The bars of automatic and semi-automatic barriers, as well as electrical barriers, must be equipped with red reflective devices and have a standard length of 4, 6 and 8 m.

Automatic, semi-automatic barriers and electrical barriers must cover at least half of the carriageway on the right side in the direction of vehicles. The left side of the road, at least 3 m wide, is not blocked. If necessary, it is allowed to install the specified barriers of non-standard length.

At level crossings with heavy traffic of vehicles, as well as high-speed traffic of passenger trains, special devices for barring railway crossings (UZP) from unauthorized entry to such crossings of vehicles can be used. The procedure for the equipment and operation of the SPD is established by the Ministry of Railways of Russia.

Mechanized barriers, as a rule, should block the entire carriageway and have signal lights used in the dark, as well as during the day with poor visibility (fog, snowstorm and other unfavorable conditions). Signal lights installed on the barrier beams of mechanized barriers should be directed towards the road:

when the gates are closed - red signals (lights);

when the barriers are open - transparent - white signals (lights).

In the direction of the railway track - transparent - white control signals (lights) both when the barriers are open and closed.

Barriers are installed on the right side of the roadside on both sides of the crossing, so that when closed, their bars are located at a height of 1 - 1.25 m from the surface of the carriageway. In this case, mechanized barriers are located at a distance of at least 8.5 and no more than 14 m from the extreme rail; automatic, semi-automatic barriers and electrical barriers - at a distance of at least 6, 8, 10 m from the extreme rail, depending on the length of the barrier bar (4, 6, 8<*>m).

<*>If this length of the timber is provided for by the project.

To barricade a level crossing during the repair of tracks, structures and devices, spare horizontal - manually operated rotary barriers must be used, installed at a distance of at least 1 m from the main barriers in the direction of the road and blocking the carriageway no less than the main ones. These barriers must have devices for securing them in the open and closed positions and for attaching a signal lamp.

Barrier bars of barriers (main and spare) are painted with alternating stripes of red and white, inclined (when viewed from the side of the road) horizontally to the right at an angle of 45-50 degrees. The width of the strips is 500 - 600 mm. The end of the barrier beam should have a red stripe 250 - 300 mm wide. The bars of the barriers are equipped with red reflective devices.

3.12. The normal position of automatic and semi-automatic barriers is open, while electrical and mechanized barriers are closed. In some cases, at level crossings with heavy vehicle traffic, as well as at level crossings handed over for servicing by employees of other services, the normal position of electric barriers and mechanized barriers can be set open.

When the barriers are normally closed, they open only to allow vehicles to pass in the absence of an approaching train.

3.13. To separate traffic flows in opposite directions (center line) on roads with two or three lanes in both directions, in accordance with GOST 13508-74 and GOST 23457-86, horizontal markings 1.1 are applied before crossings from the near rail to markings 1.12 (stop - line) and at a distance of 100 m from the marking 1.12.

Marking 1.12 is applied at a distance of at least 5 m from the barrier or traffic light, and in their absence - at a distance of at least 10 m from the near rail.

To mark the boundaries of traffic lanes, if there are two or more of them for one direction of traffic, before crossings at least 20 (40) m from the markings 1.12, markings are applied 1.3.

3.14. At crossings with attendants, premises for attendants should be built according to standard designs - buildings of crossing posts with an exit along the railway track towards the highway. Exits to the side of the railway track in the buildings of crossing posts should be fenced with handrails.

3.15. Electric lighting must have all crossings of categories I and II, as well as III and IV categories in the presence of longitudinal power supply lines or other permanent sources of power supply.

In accordance with the norms of artificial lighting of railway transport facilities, RD 3215-91, the illumination within the crossing must be at least: Category I - 5 lux; II category - 3 lux; III category - 2 lux; IV category - 1 lux.

The illumination level should be brought to 5 lux according to the plans of railways, first of all, level II crossings, then III and IV categories.

If necessary, for the inspection of passing trains, the crossings are equipped with searchlight installations.

At crossings located on high-speed highways and main streets of city-wide significance, lamps must be installed in accordance with SNiP 2.05.02-85 "Highways".

The power supply to the crossing signaling devices must comply with the current regulations. At the same time, for automation devices with DC rail circuits, a battery reserve with a duration of continuous operation of at least 8 hours must be provided, provided that the power supply has not been turned off in the previous 36 hours.

3.16. Crossings with attendants must have radio communication with train locomotive drivers, direct telephone communication with the nearest station or post, and in areas with centralized dispatching - with the train dispatcher. The telephone call is complemented by an external call (howler).

3.17. Level crossings are equipped with signaling devices in accordance with the Basic Requirements for Equipping Level Crossings with Leveling Leveling Devices (Appendix 1).

First of all, signaling devices should be equipped with crossings with bus traffic, as well as those located on the main tracks with heavy train and vehicle traffic, high train speeds, and unsatisfactory visibility conditions.

3.18. On highways, before level crossings equipped with crossing signaling, traffic lights are installed with two horizontally located and alternately flashing red signals (lights) having the following meanings (color tab, Fig.5a, b):

red signal (light) is on - the movement of vehicles is prohibited;

the red signal (light) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed only after the driver makes sure that there is no train approaching the crossing.

Traffic lights are installed on the right side in the direction of movement of vehicles. In some cases (visibility conditions, traffic intensity) signals (lights) of traffic lights can be repeated on the opposite side of the road.

At separate crossings without a person on duty, according to the conditions approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia, traffic signaling with traffic lights with two alternately flashing red signals (lights) and one white-lunar flashing signal (light) signaling (color tab, Fig.5b) can be used:

red signal (fire) is on, white - lunar signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is prohibited;

white - the lunar signal (light) is on, the red signal (light) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed;

red and white - the lunar signals (lights) are off - the crossing signaling is disabled or faulty.

Before crossing, the driver must make sure that there is no approaching train and give way if the train (locomotive, railcar) is approaching the crossing.

The specific procedure for the actions of vehicle drivers when driving through a railway crossing is established by the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation.

In the event that the alarm is turned off or malfunctioning, the operator of the nearest station or the train dispatcher in the areas with centralized dispatching is automatically notified of the crossing alarm malfunction.

The station attendant or train dispatcher, having received a notification, must make a record of the automation malfunction at the crossing in the DU-46 form log, inform the attendant of the neighboring stations and the signaling system electromechanics about this.

The electromechanic must take steps to rectify the malfunction.

The station attendant or train dispatcher by radio immediately transmits a message to the train drivers, traveling without stopping at separate points in the direction of the crossing, about the failure of automation devices at the crossing and the need to follow it with special vigilance and a speed of no more than 20 km / h.

Written warnings are issued to trains that have a stop at stations about faulty crossing signaling in the manner set out in the Instructions for the movement of trains and shunting work on the railways of the Russian Federation.

Automatic traffic lights must be adjusted in such a way that the start of a stop signal in the direction of the road is made in the time required for the vehicle to release the crossing in advance. At the same time, at the moment the train enters the approach section, at the traffic lights in the direction of the road, flashing red signals (lights) are turned on, and acoustic signals (bells or howling) are also given for additional information to road users about the prohibition of movement through the crossing.

Turning off the red signals (lights) occurs after the train clears the crossing.

When trains move in an unidentified direction on single-track sections equipped with automatic blocking, and on the wrong track on two- and multi-track sections, the red flashing signals (lights) are turned off after the train clears the approach section located behind the crossing along the train.

Red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights turn on from the moment the train enters the approach section and after a time determined by the calculation, the barriers smoothly lower to a horizontal position. Automatic barriers must remain closed, and red signals (lights) of traffic lights must be on (lit) until the train is completely free of the crossing.

When the train is completely free of the crossing, the barrage bars of the automatic barriers rise to a vertical position, after which the red signals (lights) at the traffic lights are turned off.

The opening of semi-automatic barriers and turning off the red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights and acoustic signals is carried out by the person on duty on the crossing by pressing the "Open" button.

In case of traffic light signaling at crossings with a duty officer on access and other tracks where the track circuits of approach sections cannot be equipped, the red flashing signals (lights) of traffic lights turn on when the button on the crossing signaling board is pressed. After that, at the shunting traffic light, the red light goes out and the moonlight turns on.

In case of traffic light signaling at crossings without a duty officer, special traffic lights should be installed as barriers on access roads in cities, signaling with red and lunar white light. In these cases, the inclusion of a permitting lunar - white light for the train (shunting train) to follow the crossing is possible only after the red signals (lights) are turned on at the crossing traffic lights. After turning on red lights at shunting traffic lights, red signals (lights) at crossing traffic lights must be turned off.

The specified dependence is carried out automatically using a shortened track chain.

3.19. Traffic safety at level crossings when returning from the haul and various movements of business, workers, recovery and other trains must be ensured in accordance with clauses 4.13 and 6.3 of this Instruction.

At crossings, the approach sections of which include station tracks, when the train departs with prohibiting traffic lights, the automatic traffic signaling should be turned on by the station attendant by pressing the "Close the crossing" button. In this case, the train driver, when approaching the crossing, must follow with special vigilance at a speed of no more than 20 km / h and readiness to stop if an obstacle to movement is encountered. The list of stations with such crossings is approved by the head of the railway and announced by an order by the railway.

At level crossings located within or near stations and equipped with level crossings, station attendants should not allow a long time between the opening of output signals and the departure of trains, so as not to cause delays of vehicles at the level crossing. The station duty officer must give a notice of the crossing, turn on the alarm, notify the crossing duty officer about the departure of the train by phone or in another way determined by the local instruction.

In the event of malfunctions in automation devices, the regulation of train traffic, the departure of trains along the correct and wrong path, the procedure for notifying the crossing officer about this, as well as information from the train driver about the necessary conditions for following the crossing, are established by the local instruction.

3.20. The "Maintain" button is intended for delaying, if necessary, the person on duty on the crossing of the closing of the barriers (electric barriers) before proceeding under the bar of a large-sized car and preventing the bar from breaking. In this case, the delay time of the barrier by the person on duty on the crossing should not exceed 5 - 10 s.

On level crossings equipped with semi-automatic barriers, the "Maintain" button is also used to open the barrier:

the crossing officer, by pressing this button after the train has passed through the crossing and the approach section has been cleared, turns on the barrier to transfer it to the open position.

3.21. At crossings with the attendant, they arrange a barrage alarm. Entrance, weekend, warning, pre-entry, shunting, checkpoint and route traffic lights located from the crossing at a distance of no more than 800 m and at least 15 m, provided that the crossing from the place of their installation is visible. If the listed traffic lights cannot be used, special obstruction traffic lights are installed at a distance of at least 15 m before the crossing.

Obstacle traffic lights are installed on single-track sections on both sides of the crossing. On double-track sections - on the right track, and on the wrong track - in the following cases:

with two-way train traffic on each track;

in suburban areas with traffic intensity over 100 pairs of trains / day.

At the crossings located within the boundaries of stations and near them, in the areas of approach to which the station tracks enter, where when the train leaves the station with the prohibiting indication of the exit traffic light, the required notification time for closing the crossing when the train starts to move from its place can be installed from the side of the station. normally lit obstruction lights. In this case, when the train moves to a prohibiting traffic light and enters the track adjacent to the crossing, the red flashing signals (lights) at the crossing traffic lights are turned on, and then, after the time delay required for the vehicles to clear the crossing, the red light of the obstruction traffic light turns off ...

The list of such crossings is established by the head of the railway.

Installation of obstructive traffic lights when trains are moving along the wrong track is allowed on the left side of the track.

At level crossings located on the hauls of double-track sections and equipped with obstruction signaling for movement only on the right track, the head of the railway provides for a procedure in which the prohibiting indication of obstruction traffic lights for movement on the right path is also a stop signal for trains following the wrong path.

If the required visibility of the obstruction traffic light is not ensured, then in the areas not equipped with automatic blocking, a warning traffic light is installed in front of such a traffic light, in shape the same as the obstruction and giving a yellow signal when the main traffic light is red and unlit when the main traffic light is off.

All crossings with an attendant located on a section with automatic blocking, regardless of the presence of obstruction traffic lights, must be equipped with devices for turning off the automatic locomotive signaling codes and switching the automatic blocking traffic lights closest to the crossing to a prohibiting indication when obstacles to the movement of trains occur at the crossing.

3.22. Cross signal control panels are installed outside the crossing duty station in a place with good visibility of the railway track and the highway on the approaches to the crossing. On the control panels, depending on the type of crossing signaling, buttons and control lamps are located. Their purpose and procedure for use are determined by the project documentation and must be contained in the local operating instructions for the crossing.

With two-story posts on the outer wall of the first floor or on a separate rack, a duplicate control panel can be installed on which a button is located to turn on the obstruction alarm.

3.23. To give signals in case of a threat to traffic safety or the need to assist the crossing officer, depending on local conditions, special signaling means (flashing beacon and siren) can be installed at the crossings.

The procedure for equipping crossings and operating such facilities is determined by the Department of tracks and structures in agreement with the Main Directorate of the State Automobile Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

On the way with reinforced concrete sleepers, the pins are hammered into a wooden sleeper embedded in a sleeper box. (Fig. 2) should be located at a distance of at least 0.75 m from the edge of the carriageway. Guide posts are installed on both sides of the crossing at a distance of 2.5 to 16 m from the extreme rails every 1.5 m. To drive livestock at crossings, railings or barrier-type fences made of reinforced concrete, wood or metal with a height of 1.2 m are installed, and barriers are suspended from mechanized barriers. Crossings are painted in accordance with the requirements of GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of traffic management. Application rules."

Rice. 2. Guide posts with flat ( a) and cylindrical ( b) surface:

In accordance with SNiP 2.05.02-85 "Highways", when crossings are located in settlements and a motor road with sidewalks approaches them, crossings must be equipped with pedestrian paths by decision of local authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the management of the track distance. If there is a crossing signaling at such crossings, the pedestrian paths are equipped with sound alarms, additionally informing road users about the prohibition of movement through the crossing. On the approaches to the level crossings (color tab, Fig. 2; 3) from the side of the railway, permanent warning signs "C" are installed about the whistle of the train drivers, and from the side of the road before all crossings without a duty officer - warning road signs 1.3.1 " Single-track railway "or 1.3.2" Multi-track railway "and other signs (color tab, Fig. 1). If there are traffic light signals at the crossing, signs 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 are installed on the same support with traffic lights, and if it is absent, at a distance of at least 20 m from the nearest rail. a distance of 500-1500 m from the crossings, and on the tracks where trains operate at speeds of more than 120 km / h - at a distance of 800-1500 m. Before moving without attendants with unsatisfactory visibility conditions, in addition, additional signal signs "C" should be installed at a distance of 250 m from the crossing (on tracks where trains operate at a speed of more than 120 km / h - at a distance of 400 m). 3.7. Before crossings without attendants and not equipped with a crossing signaling, if the drivers of vehicles located at a distance of no more than 50 m from the nearest rail are not provided with the visibility of the train at a distance equal to the calculated road visibility distance (Table 2 of this Instruction), as well as during production work on a level crossing, a road sign of priority 2.5 "Driving without stopping is prohibited" is installed. The need to install sign 2.5 is determined by a commission (clause 1.3 of this Instruction). The place of its installation is taken in accordance with GOST 23457-86. Before such crossings, before their reorganization, in order to increase traffic safety, the head of the railway may, in some cases, establish a permanent limitation of the speed of trains. 3.8. On the approaches to the place for the passage of livestock at a distance of 20 m from the extreme rails, signs are installed with the inscriptions in Russian and local languages: "Beware of the train! Place for the passage of cattle", and at a distance of 3-4 m from the extreme rail across the tracks for the passage of cattle - posts to prevent vehicles from entering the path 3.9. On electrified lines on both sides of the crossing, road prohibition signs are installed 3.13. "Height limitation" with a number on the sign "4.5 m" (color tab, Fig. 1) at a distance of at least 5 m from the barrier, and in their absence - at least 14 m from the extreme rail. 3.10. On the approaches to level crossings from the side of highways, in front of the barriers, and where they are not there, in front of the road warning sign 1.3.1 or 1.3.2, in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulations, road warning signs 1.1 are installed. "Railway crossing with a barrier" or 1.2. "Railway crossing without a barrier" at a distance of 150-300 m, and in settlements - at a distance of 50-100 m from the extreme rail and other road signs (color tab, Fig. 2, 3). Signs 1.1. and 1.2. should be duplicated on roads with three or more lanes for traffic in both directions, as well as on roads with one or two lanes for traffic in both directions, if the distance of visibility of the crossing outside settlements is less than 300 m, and in settlements - less than 100 m. Work on the repair and maintenance of highways - approaches to crossings of general and non-public use to the ends of the sleepers of the nearest rails are carried out at the expense of the owners of these roads (Appendix 1). In this case, work within 10 m from the ends of the sleepers of the near rails is carried out in agreement with the track distance in the presence of an employee authorized by the management of the track distance. Crossings with attendants are equipped with barriers. The bars of automatic and semi-automatic barriers, as well as electric barriers, must be equipped with red reflective devices and have a standard length of 4; 6 and 8 m. Automatic, semi-automatic barriers and electrical barriers must cover at least half of the carriageway on the right side in the direction of the movement of vehicles. The left side of the road, at least 3 m wide, is not blocked. If necessary, it is allowed to install the specified barriers of non-standard length.At crossings with heavy traffic of vehicles, as well as high-speed traffic of passenger trains, special devices for barring railway crossings (UZP) from unauthorized entry to such crossings of vehicles can be used. The procedure for the equipment and operation of the UZP is established by the Ministry of Railways of Russia. Mechanized barriers, as a rule, should block the entire carriageway and have signal lights used in the dark, as well as during the day with poor visibility (fog, snowstorm and other unfavorable conditions). Signal lights installed on the barrier beams of mechanized barriers should be directed towards the road: when the barriers are closed - red signals (lights); when the barriers are open - transparent white signals (lights); Towards the railroad track - control transparent white signals (lights), both in the open and in the closed position of the barriers. The barriers are installed on the right side on the side of the road on both sides of the crossing so that their bars in the closed position are located at a height of 1-1.25 m from the surface of the carriageway ... In this case, mechanized barriers are located at a distance of at least 8.5 and no more than 14 m from the extreme rail; automatic, semi-automatic barriers and electrical barriers - at a distance of at least 6; eight; 10 m from the extreme rail, depending on the length of the barrier bar (4; 6; 8 * m). * If such a length of the bar is provided for by the project. To fence the crossing during the repair of tracks, structures and devices, spare horizontal-turn manual barriers must be used, installed at a distance of at least 1 m from the main barriers in the direction of the road and blocking the carriageway of the road at least than the main ones. These barriers should have devices for securing them in the open and closed positions and for hanging a signal lamp. Barrier bars (main and spare) are painted with alternating stripes of red and white, inclined (when viewed from the side of the road) to the right horizontally at an angle of 45- 50 °. The width of the strips is 500-600 mm. The end of the barrier beam should have a red stripe 250-300 mm wide. Bars of barriers are equipped with red reflective devices. 3.12. The normal position of automatic and semi-automatic barriers is open, while electrical and mechanized barriers are closed. In some cases, at level crossings with - heavy traffic of vehicles, as well as at level crossings handed over for servicing by employees of other services, the normal position of electric barriers and mechanized barriers can be set open. When the barriers are normally closed, they open only to allow vehicles to pass in the absence of an approaching train. To separate traffic flows in opposite directions (center line) on roads with two or three lanes in both directions, in accordance with GOST 13508-74 and GOST 23457-86, horizontal markings 1.1 are applied before crossings from the near rail to 1.12 markings (stop line) and at a distance of 100 m from the marking 1.12. Marking 1.12 is applied at a distance of at least 5 m from the barrier or traffic light, and in their absence - at a distance of at least 10 m from the near rail. To mark the boundaries of traffic lanes, if there are two or for more than one direction of travel, before the crossings, not less than 20 (40) m from the markings 1.12, the markings are applied 1.3.3.14. At crossings with attendants, premises for attendants should be built according to standard designs - buildings of crossing posts with an exit along the railway track towards the highway. Exits to the side of the railway track in the buildings of crossing posts should be fenced with handrails. 3.15. Electric lighting must have all level crossings of I and II categories, as well as III and IV categories in the presence of longitudinal power supply lines or other permanent power supply sources. Category I - 5 lux; II category - 3 lux; III category - 2 lux; IV category - 1 lux. The level of illumination should be brought to 5 lux according to the plans of railways, first of all crossings of the II category, then III and IV categories. In necessary cases, for inspection of passing trains, the crossings are equipped with searchlights. roads and main streets of city-wide significance, lamps must be installed in accordance with SNiP 2.05.02-85 "Roads". Power supply of crossing signaling devices must comply with the current standards. At the same time, for an automation device with DC rail circuits, a battery reserve with a duration of continuous operation of at least 8 hours should be provided, provided that the power supply was not turned off in the previous 36 hours 3.16. Crossings with attendants must have radio communication with train locomotive drivers, direct telephone communication with the nearest station or post, and in areas with centralized dispatching - with the train dispatcher. The telephone call is supplemented by an external call (howler). 3.17. Level crossings are equipped with signaling devices in accordance with the Basic Requirements for Equipping Level Crossings with Level Crossing Signaling (Annex 2). unsatisfactory visibility conditions. 3.18. On highways in front of level crossings equipped with crossing signaling, traffic lights are installed with two horizontally located and alternately blinking red signals (lights) having the following meaning (color tab, Fig. 5, a, b): red signal (light) is on - the movement of vehicles is prohibited; red signal (light) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed only after the driver is convinced that there is no train approaching the crossing. Traffic lights are installed on the right side in the direction of movement of vehicles. In some cases (visibility conditions, traffic intensity) signals (lights) of traffic lights can be repeated on the opposite side of the road.At individual crossings without a duty officer, according to the conditions approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia, a traffic light signaling with traffic lights with two alternately flashing red signals (lights) can be used and one white-lunar flashing signal (fire), signaling (color tab, Fig. 5, b ): the red signal (fire) is on, the white-moon signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is prohibited; the white-moon signal (fire) is on, the red signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed; red and white-moon signals (lights) off - the crossing signaling is disabled or faulty. Before the crossing, the driver must make sure that there is no approaching train and give way if the train (locomotive, railcar) is approaching the crossing. The specific procedure for vehicle drivers when driving across a railway crossing is established by the Rules of the Road In the event that the alarm is turned off or malfunctioning, the operator on duty at the nearest station or the train dispatcher in areas with centralized dispatching is automatically notified of the crossing signaling failure. rms DU-46, inform the duty officer of the neighboring stations and the electromechanic of the signaling system about this. The electromechanic must take measures to eliminate the malfunction. The duty officer at the station or train dispatcher by radio immediately sends a message to the train drivers, following without stopping at separate points in the direction of the crossing, about the malfunction of the devices automation at the level crossing and the need to follow it with special vigilance and at a speed of no more than 20 km / h. Federations. Automatic traffic lights must be adjusted so that the start of the stop signal in the direction of the road is made within the time required for the vehicle to release the crossing in advance. At the same time, at the moment the train enters the approach section at the traffic lights towards the road, flashing red signals (lights) are turned on, and acoustic signals (bells or howlers) are given for additional information to road users about the prohibition of movement through the crossing. When trains move in an unknown direction on single-track sections equipped with automatic blocking, and on the wrong track on two- and multi-track sections, the red flashing signals (lights) are turned off after the train clears the approach section located behind the crossing along the train. Red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights turn on from the moment the train enters the approach section and after a time determined by the calculation, the barriers smoothly lower to a horizontal position. Automatic barriers must remain closed, and the red signals (lights) of traffic lights must be on (illuminated) until the train completely clears the level crossing. The opening of semi-automatic barriers and the switching off of red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights and acoustic signals is carried out by the person on duty at the crossing by pressing the "Open" button. flashing signals (lights) of traffic lights turn on when the button on the crossing signaling board is pressed. After that, at the shunting traffic lights, the red light goes out and the moon-white turns on. When traffic lights at crossings without a duty officer, special traffic lights should be installed on access roads in cities, signaling with red and moon-white lights. In these cases, the inclusion of a permitting moon-white light for the train (shunting train) to follow the crossing is possible only after the red signals (lights) are turned on at the crossing traffic lights. After turning on the red lights at the shunting traffic lights, the red signals (lights) at the crossing traffic lights must be turned off. The indicated dependence is carried out automatically using a shortened track circuit. 3.19. Traffic safety at level crossings when returning from the haul and various movements of business, workers, recovery and other trains must be ensured in accordance with paragraphs. 4.13 and 6.3 of this Instruction. At crossings, the approach sections of which include station tracks, when the train departs when traffic lights are prohibited, the automatic traffic signaling should be turned on by the station attendant by pressing the "Close the crossing" button. In this case, the train driver, when approaching the crossing, must follow with special vigilance at a speed of no more than 20 km / h and readiness to stop if an obstacle to movement is encountered. The list of stations with such crossings is approved by the head of the railway and announced by an order by the railway. At level crossings located within or near stations and equipped with level crossings, station attendants should not allow a long time between the opening of output signals and the departure of trains, so as not to cause delays of vehicles at the level crossing. The station duty officer must give a notice of the crossing, turn on the alarm, notify the crossing duty officer about the departure of the train by phone or in another way determined by the local instruction. the crossing about this, as well as the information of the train driver about the necessary conditions for following the crossing, are established by the local instruction. 3.20. The "Maintain" button is intended for delaying, if necessary, the person on duty on the crossing of the closing of the barriers (electric barriers) before proceeding under the bar of a large-sized car and preventing the bar from breaking. At the same time, the delay time of the barrier by the person on duty on the crossing should not exceed 5-10 s. At crossings equipped with semi-automatic barriers, the "Maintain" button is also used to open the barrier: the person on duty on the crossing, pressing this button after the train has passed through the crossing and clearing the approach section , turns on the barrier to transfer it to the open position. 3.21. At crossings with the attendant, they arrange a barrage alarm. Entrance, weekend, warning, pre-entry, shunting, checkpoint and route traffic lights located from the crossing at a distance of no more than 800 m and at least 15 m, provided that the crossing from the place of their installation is visible. If the listed traffic lights cannot be used, special obstruction traffic lights are installed at a distance of at least 15 m before the crossing. Barrier traffic lights are installed on single-track sections on both sides of the crossing. On double-track sections - along the right track, and along the wrong track - in the following cases: with two-way train traffic along each track; in suburban areas with traffic intensity over 100 pairs of trains / day. the sections of approach to which the station tracks enter, where when the train leaves the station with a prohibiting indication of the entrance traffic light, the required notification time for closing the crossing when the train starts to move is not provided, normally lit obstruction lights can be installed from the station side. In this case, when the train moves to a prohibiting traffic light and enters the track adjacent to the crossing, the red flashing signals (lights) at the crossing traffic lights are turned on, and then, after the time delay required for the vehicles to clear the crossing, the red light of the obstruction traffic light turns off The list of such crossings is established by the head of the railway. The installation of obstruction traffic lights when trains move along the wrong track is allowed on the left side of the track. which prohibiting the indication of obstruction traffic lights for movement on the right track is also a stop signal for trains following the wrong path. x auto-blocking, in front of such a traffic light a warning traffic light is installed, which is the same in shape as a barrage, and gives a yellow signal when the main traffic light is red and unlit when the main traffic light is off. Traffic lights must be equipped with devices for turning off the codes of the automatic locomotive signaling and switching the auto-blocking traffic lights nearest before the crossing to a prohibitive indication when obstacles to the movement of trains appear at the crossing. 3.22. Cross signal control panels are installed outside the crossing duty station in a place with good visibility of the railway track and the highway on the approaches to the crossing. On the control panels, depending on the type of crossing signaling, buttons and control lamps are located. Their purpose and procedure for use are determined by the design documentation and must be contained in the local operating instructions for the crossing. In case of two-story posts, a duplicate control panel can be installed on the outer wall of the first floor or on a separate rack, on which a button is located to turn on the obstruction alarm. To give signals in case of a threat to traffic safety or the need to assist the crossing officer, depending on local conditions, special signaling means (flashing beacon and siren) can be installed at the crossings. The procedure for equipping crossings and operating such facilities is determined by the Department of tracks and structures in agreement with the Main Directorate of the State Automobile Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
