What is the maximum speed allowed when traveling under SPA working and in wrong running direction?

When operating under SPA (Special Possession Authority) working and traveling in the wrong running direction, the maximum speed permitted is 40 km/h. This regulation is in place to enhance safety and ensure that operators maintain control and reaction times in a potentially hazardous environment.

The SPA working arrangement may involve specific conditions such as reduced visibility or limited space, which necessitate lower speed limits to prevent accidents. A speed limit of 40 km/h strikes a balance between operational efficiency and the need to uphold safety while navigating against the normal flow of traffic.

This regulation supports safe operations, ensuring that personnel and trains can respond quickly to any obstacles or changes in the working environment. Safe working practices are critical in railway operations, especially under unique conditions like SPA, where standard operational conditions may not apply.
