Another Train Coming Signs
Another Train Coming Signs
Addressing a persistent risk at multi-track rail crossings, ITE’s latest Technical Brief—Another Train Coming Signs—dives into the evolving science of pedestrian warning systems. Second-train collisions, though rare, often result in severe injuries or fatalities, particularly at sidewalk crossings near passenger stations. This brief explores decades of research and international treatments—including Japan’s successful dual-arrow system—and evaluates their effectiveness. Passive signage has largely fallen short, prompting a call for innovative, active solutions that provide clear visual and audible alerts. If you work in transit operations, rail safety, or traffic engineering, this brief offers critical insights and next steps toward designing safer crossings. Learn how active Another Train Coming signs could help prevent the next pedestrian tragedy—and why further research and field testing are urgently needed.
