The City of Winnipeg has installed a new railroad crossing information system that includes roadside ‘TRAINFO’ beacons and digital message boards. The beacons and boards flash in advance of rail crossings to improve driver awareness and reduce train-related delays.
Message Boards on Sterling Lyon and Kenaston Boulevards
Digital message boards are specifically installed on Sterling Lyon Boulevard and Kenaston Boulevard. These boards provide real-time alerts to help drivers decide whether to re-route or wait for the train, enhancing decision-making near rail crossings.
Fire Paramedic Service Access to Crossing Information
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews have dashboard access to railroad crossing information, allowing emergency responders to monitor crossing status in real time. This system integration supports
operational efficiency and safety during emergency responses.
