Navigating Safely: Types of Railway Crossings in India

Indian Railways employs various types of railway crossings to ensure safe passage for both trains and road vehicles. The primary types include:

  1. Manned Level Crossings: These are monitored by railway staff who control the gates, ensuring safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians when trains approach.
  2. Unmanned Level Crossings: These crossings lack personnel and rely on warning signs and signals. They are gradually being phased out due to safety concerns.
  3. Road Over Bridges (ROBs): These bridges allow road traffic to pass over the railway tracks, eliminating direct interaction with trains.
  4. Road Under Bridges (RUBs): Similar to ROBs, these structures enable vehicles to pass beneath the railway tracks, enhancing safety and reducing congestion.

These crossings play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of India’s vast railway network.
