Description

A rectangular, blue sign with white enamel text, made for British Railways. The text reads 'British Transport Commission, Warning. Indicators show from which direction a train is approaching, but always stop, look and listen before crossing'

Community curation - written by a member of the Community Co-production group, who has lived experience of disability, D/deafness and/or neurodivergence: “Stop, Look and Listen – the most important things we should do when crossing the tracks at a level crossing. But what about people who might have sight or hearing loss? How are these types of crossings accessible to those people? A footbridge over the tracks is potentially a safer option and this was an option being proposed at a crossing near me. A new, steps-only footbridge – and almost 90 steps at that. Yet that then becomes inaccessible to wheelchair users, and people with other mobility difficulties. Why is inaccessible infrastructure still being considered in 2024?”
