Safety when Walking across LRT Tracks
Edmonton Transit Service uses gates, flashing lights, and signage to communicate to people walking when it’s not safe to cross the tracks.
Actions to stay safe when you’re walking around LRT tracks:
- Be alert and only cross at designated safe crossings! LRT trains can come from either direction on any track, at any time.
- Wait behind the gates. Never cross when the arms are down and lights are flashing.
- Always stop, look both ways and listen before crossing the tracks.
- Cross quickly and never stop on the LRT track.
- Use pedways or underpasses to avoid crossing tracks when possible. Underpasses and pedways are monitored by security cameras.
