Setting Up an Automatic Level Crossing with Barriers and Alarms

Placing Level Crossings and Half-Barriers

Level crossings protect roads and paths that intersect with active train lines, preventing collisions with players and vehicles.

1. Identify the roadway section where paths cross over your train tracks.

2. Place working level crossing blocks along the road perimeter adjacent to the rails.

3. Position the automatic half-barriers across the road lanes.

4. When trains approach the intersection, the system engages and automatically lowers the half-barriers across the road.

Installing Crossing Alarms for Road Intersections

In addition to physical barriers, you can provide audible warnings across the intersection:

1. Place a crossing alarm block next to your level crossing setup.

2. Ensure the alarm is placed within hearing range of the road intersection.

3. As a train nears the crossing, the alarm triggers and sounds custom warning audio to alert nearby players of incoming rail traffic.

4. Once the train passes and clears the intersection, the alarm stops sounding and the automatic half-barriers lift to allow road traffic through again.
