PART III

Conditions and Requirements to be observed by the Society at the Accommodation Work Stage.
38 The surface of the accommodation road over the crossing shall be maintained in a reasonably good and even condition. The accommodation road shall be approximately 7.3 metres wide on the approaches to the crossing and shall be approximately 11 metres wide over the railway.
39 The gates shall be kept constantly closed across the accommodation road except during the time when the security system mentioned in paragraph 40 below permits use of the accommodation road by any authorised vehicle.
40 The gates shall be secured in the closed position on both sides of the railway by either or both of two padlocks. If the railway is closed the railway padlocks will be removed and lodged with the Line Controller. If the railway is open trains will be brought to a stand before the crossing as mentioned in paragraph 41 below and the person in charge of the train shall close and secure the gates on both sides of the railway with the railway padlocks. If road access is not required the works padlocks will be applied to the gates on both sides of the railway and the keys thereof lodged with the Clerk of Works. If road access is required the Clerk of Works may release the keys of the works padlocks to authorised Contractors. The Line Controller shall reach a clear understanding as to rail and road traffic movements on each day the railway is open and shall keep a record of this. The Clerk of Works shall keep a clear record of the issue and return of works padlock keys.
41 Drivers shall bring their trains to a halt at the stop boards mentioned in paragraph 10 above and shall sound the train’s whistle before proceeding. Trains travelling in either direction shall not proceed over the crossing until the driver has been given a clear handsignal by the person in charge of the level crossing to signify that the gates on both sides of the railway are securely closed and locked against road traffic and that the crossing is clear.
PART IV

Conditions and Requirements to be observed by the Society when the Road is Open to the Public.
42 The carriageway shall be divided into two separate carriageways on both sides of the railway approximately 14.0 metres before the crossing and there shall be a central reservation between the carriageways on each approach to the crossing on each side of the railway approximately 2.2 metres wide and 12.0 metres long. Each of the carriageways shall be approximately 4.0 metres wide. The separation between the two carriageways shall be approximately 4.8 metres wide. There shall be a footway approximately 1.0 metre wide between the carriageway and the outermost extent of the highway on both sides of the railway on each approach to the crossing. The surface of the carriageway and footways over the crossing shall be maintained in a good and even condition.
43 The barriers shall be kept in the fully raised position except during the time when any train passing along the railway has occasion to cross the specified road. The electric lamps on each barrier shall be lit except when the barriers are fully raised.
44 When a train either occupies a track circuit or operates a treadle the sequence of events to close the crossing to road traffic shall automatically begin. The sequence shall be:—
(a) The amber lights shall show and the audible warning shall begin. The lights shall show for approximately three seconds.
(b) Immediately the amber lights are extinguished the intermittent red lights of the traffic signals and the pedestrian warning lights shall show.
(c) Four to six seconds later the barriers shall begin to descend and shall take another six to ten seconds to reach the lowered position.
45 Not less than 27 seconds shall elapse between the time when the amber lights first show and the time when the train reaches the crossing. The barriers shall rise as soon as the train has passed clear of the crossing.
46 The intermittent red lights shall continue to show and the audible warning devices to sound until the barriers have begun to rise and both shall be switched off before the barriers have risen to an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal.
47 After a train has passed one of the standard level crossing speed restriction boards referred to in paragraph 35 above the relevant speed shall not be exceeded until the front of the train has passed over the crossing.
48 In the event of a failure of both intermittent red lights in any of the road traffic signals, provided the barriers have not commenced to lower they will remain in the fully raised position and the signals on each railway approach will continue to show an intermittent red light. Should such a failure occur with the barriers in any position other than fully raised they will lower and remain lowered until they are raised by the passage of a train or locally/manually. In these circumstances the white signal on the relevant railway approach will be extinguished and the other signal on the same railway approach will show an intermittent red light.
49 If either barrier fails to rise from the lowered position the intermittent red lights in the road traffic light signals shall continue to show.
50 Should a total power failure occur, provided the barriers have not commenced to lower they will remain in the fully raised position. If the barriers are in any other position when the failure occurs they will remain in that position until they are manually raised.
51 If the white railway signal mentioned in paragraph 31 above shows and the crossing is unobstructed, drivers of trains in both directions may drive their trains over the crossing at a speed not exceeding the speed indicated on the relevant board described in paragraph 35 until the front part of the train has passed over the crossing. If the white light does not show and the red light continues to show or the crossing is obstructed at the time the white light is showing, drivers shall bring their trains to a stand short of the crossing and may thereafter proceed with caution when it is safe to do so.
52 The Society shall give notice in writing to the Secretary of State as soon as the provisions of Parts II and IV of Schedule 3 have been met and the crossing shall be inspected as soon as possible thereafter.
