Why can't we fly kites near railways? During "Safety Production Month", railway workers go to campuses and communities to "take classes"
"Students, it is strictly forbidden to fly kites, balloons, lanterns and other floating objects within 500 meters on both sides of the high-speed railway power line conductors. Do you know why?" "I know, because once these floating objects are entangled in the power line conductors, they can easily affect the normal operation of the train or cause power outages, posing a safety hazard to the high-speed rail operation."... Recently, railway employees in the Yangtze River Delta have gone to campuses, communities, etc. to promote railway safety knowledge by distributing brochures and leaflets, carrying out theme lectures, quiz competitions with prizes, and safety display board tours.
June this year is the 23rd National "Safe Production Month". The theme of the activity is "Everyone talks about safety, everyone knows how to respond to emergencies - unblocking the life channel". China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd. strengthens safety education internally and strengthens publicity of railway safety laws and regulations, and love and protect railways externally to enhance the safety awareness of the public.
The electric contact network and its accessories of the electrified railway usually carry 27,500 volts of high voltage electricity. Therefore, it is very dangerous to climb on the train, hang clothes on the power pillars, climb the pillars, pour water on the bridges or buildings on the railway, and throw debris around, which may cause electric shock, fire, and damage to railway electrical equipment.
When a train is running at high speed, just like an airplane, the impact of objects may cause damage to the train body and glass, which not only poses a threat to the personal safety of the locomotive driver, train crew, and passengers on the train, but also causes damage to the wires, electrical equipment, precision instruments, etc. installed in the train body, which may cause the train control to fail.
3. It is strictly prohibited to walk, sit, lie or cross the railway line
High-speed trains can reach speeds of more than 300 kilometers per hour, or 83 meters per second, which is more than twice the maximum wind speed of a 12-level typhoon of 37 meters per second. When running, strong winds of 8 to 10 levels are formed, and the trains have to slide for four kilometers after emergency braking before they can stop. When people walking on the railway notice it, it is too late to avoid it, which will cause pedestrian casualties.
