3 Railroad Crossing Signs that Protect Motorists
Railroad crossing signs come in a surprisingly diverse number of variations for one simple reason: not all railroad crossings are alike.
Though most people may never even think about it, different railroad crossings often present different types of problems for motorists and pedestrians alike. A railroad situated next to a busy intersection, for instance, will likely face entirely different problems than a railroad crossing in the countryside. But really, the two questions you’re probably asking are:
- What are these problems?
- What can I do to fix them?
Today, we’re discussing 3 of our railroad crossing signs and how they’re designed to maximize railroad safety for everyone.
1. DADDS’ Rail Grade Crossing Safety System
The DADDS’ railroad crossing safety system is more than just a railroad crossing sign: it’s the whole package. This safety system comes equipped with a range of essential railroad safety devices, such as:
- Cutting-edge retractable delineators
- Bollard poles
- LED railroad crossing signs
- Advanced, intelligent monitoring equipment
This package provides all the tools needed to act as an all-purpose railroad crossing safety system, saving lives in nearly any environment.
2. Railroad Crossing LED Signs
LED railroad crossing signs are perfect for crossings with low visibility conditions and rural areas. In rural areas and backroads, motorists aren’t generally as focused on looking out for traffic signage. After all, rural areas tend to have much less signage than urban and suburban areas.
As a result, it’s especially important that signage for these areas is extra noticeable—that way, motorists see the sign well in advance of crossing.
3. High Speed Railroad Crossing Signs
High speed railroad crossings are especially important to signal effectively. Because these railroads are higher speed, motorists and pedestrians alike may need more warning and a greater sense of urgency to keep everyone safe. That’s why we created our Moving Eyes railroad crossing LED signs.
These signs are designed to display eyes looking both left and right as the train approaches. This unique motion not only attracts attention, but also reminds the passersby that the train could arrive from either direction. As a result, drivers and pedestrians are more likely to stay cautious as they approach.
