Safety

• Appropriate steps must be taken to prevent access to or undesirable intrusions into installations on lines travelled at high-speed.

• Steps must be taken to limit the dangers to which persons are exposed, particularly in stations through which trains pass at high-speed.

• Infrastructures to which the public has access must be designed and made in such a way as to limit any human health hazards (stability, fire, access, evacuation, platforms, etc.).

• Appropriate provisions must be laid down to take account of the particular safety conditions in very long tunnels.
