Light rail transit Light rail transit (LRT) crossings in Calgary and Edmonton are similar to other railway crossings and require pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists to use caution in these locations. LRT systems are powered by electricity, which makes them very quiet. These crossings use a variety of warning devices such as regular traffic signal lights, signs, bells, and gates. These warnings all mean stop and do not cross the tracks. Never drive around the gates, even if an LRT train has just passed. Another one may be coming from the other direction. Due to its weight and speed, an LRT train may take up to 100 metres (330 feet) to stop in an emergency.Text extracted from the PDF for reference and may contain layout artefacts.
