We'll tell you why it's extremely important to follow this simple rule.
Why you shouldn't step on the rails when crossing the railway tracks
Because it's easy to slip on a rail polished by train wheels.
And if you fall, you can get seriously injured and lose consciousness.
The curved sections of the railway tracks are especially dangerous. In such sections, the rails are lubricated with a special agent that extends their service life.
Also, when crossing railroad tracks, you must not step on the ends of the sleepers, you can also slip and fall.
