What is the maximum speed a train can be propelled over a level crossing while being protected by a qualified worker?

The maximum speed a train can be propelled over a level crossing while being protected by a qualified worker is set at 10 km/h. This limitation is established to enhance safety at level crossings, where the risk of accidents is significantly heightened. By enforcing a lower speed, the potential for serious incidents is reduced, allowing the qualified worker to manage the movement more effectively while ensuring that vehicles and pedestrians have adequate time to clear the crossing.

This regulation is in place to allow the qualified worker to respond to any unforeseen circumstances or hazards that may arise at the crossing. The slower speed provides both the train crew and the qualified worker with more time to react if there is an obstruction, ensuring the safety of everyone involved.
