In megacities, children, like adults, have to ride in the subway. You can often hear a voice informant that the subway is a transport company that is associated with increased danger. Children usually do not pay any attention to this information, but in vain. Especially for young passengers, this article will list the rules of behavior in the subway, as well as various examples of consequences due to non-compliance with them.
In transitions and in the lobby of any station
But the steps in the transition need to go down carefully, not run. You need to be careful in the winter, when the steps are slippery. Mixed snow, mud, sand are also a source of danger, because you can stumble and fall. Better not to rush, and this applies to people of all ages. After reconstruction or at new stations, smooth slabs or tiles are laid in transitions. To avoid slipping, you should move carefully.
We continue to study the rules of behavior in the subway for schoolchildren. Having overcome the transition, we approach the door of the station lobby. It doesn’t matter, on the street or underground the entrance, you need to know two basic things:
- in no case should you run into a sash that closes behind someone;
- the sash needs to be pushed away from you, and not trying to open it on yourself so that it does not hit on the back during entry (there are often drafts that create huge force for doors, and this is unsafe).
The lobby also needs to behave properly. Children under 7 years of age pass free of charge through a special gate near the controller's booth or security officer. But if the student is older, then you need to buy a ticket when there is no social card. In no case should you try to overcome the turnstiles without paying for the fare. Injuries will be serious. For the sake of interest, remember the cartoon “Well, wait a minute!”, Where the wolf tried to climb under the turnstiles and pinched its tail.
Escalator or staircase
There are always escalators at deep stations, and stairs at small stations. In the second case, we can only advise you to go down carefully. If you have an escalator, you need to paint all the rules in detail.
What is an escalator? This is a moving staircase. Its speed is 2-3 km / h. You need to be careful from the beginning to the end of the movement. Things must not be placed on handrails. Girls should pay attention to shawls, shawls, long skirts and coats so that they do not fall into the gap between the steps and the casing of the balustrade. You can’t throw anything, littering is also prohibited. Do not run and jump, sit on the steps. You should always hold onto the handrail, as the escalator may stop suddenly. These simple metro rules will help prevent accidents.
Platform
You must exit the escalator carefully, without losing vigilance. When this path is overcome, you can safely go to the platform. It is also important to follow all the rules, as trains run here. On the platform you need to stand so that the legs and torso are from the edge beyond the boundary line (usually it is yellow). You can’t look into the tunnel, run along the platform, try to go around the crowd outside the bounding strip.
The rules of safe behavior in the subway are not written for beauty, but to preserve the health and life of passengers. We will continue to study what can be done in the subway and what cannot.
When transporting skis, poles and other items that can injure or cause damage, you must follow the rule: sharp objects should be packed in cases. Walking on the subway with ice cream, cotton wool and other food should not be.
In the train
What to do when a train approaches? Wait for him to stop completely. When the doors open, you should not immediately run in if there are passengers at the exit. When landing, you need to listen to the informant. If you are warned about closing the doors, then you should move away from the edge of the platform to expect the next train. Never run into the closing doors!
The rules of conduct in the metro apply at all its facilities, including in electric trains. During landing, you need to sit on the seat or hold on to the handrail. Sharp accelerations and braking can lead to injuries, so the rule should not be neglected. When exiting a train, one cannot stay in the doorway or on the platform between the carriage body and the boundary line.
If any item falls onto the rails, in no case do not try to remove it yourself. You need to call the station attendant. She will get the thing out of the way with a special device.
What happens if the rules are not followed
Consider some examples of non-compliance with the rules and their consequences.
- The boys ran around the platform in pursuit and accidentally pushed a passenger from the platform. She fell almost in front of a passing train.
- The man ran along the escalator, stumbled and fell, breaking his arm and spine.
- The woman did not hold the handrail on the train. The train stopped abruptly. The passenger lost her balance and fell, breaking her arm, hitting her head on the handrail.
- The guy tried to run into the closing door, his hand pinched. He stayed on the platform. The driver did not see him. The train began to accelerate, the guy was next. He died on the spot in a collision with the end face of the tunnel wall.
Examples can be given a lot. It is important to follow the rules of conduct in the subway. OBZH - that subject which is obliged to consider a similar question with students. It will not be superfluous to conduct both independent work and the final control in half a year to consolidate the knowledge they acquired.
In conclusion, we can advise teachers and parents to check with their children how they understood all the rules of conduct in the subway.
