What is the required speed when movements are made on non-controlled track?

The required speed when movements are made on non-controlled track is restricted speed. This is defined as a speed that allows a train or vehicle to stop within half the range of vision, particularly in situations where visibility may be compromised due to track conditions or physical obstructions. Restricted speed ensures that any potential hazards are managed effectively, allowing for safe operations and protecting the safety of roadway workers who may be on or near the tracks.

Normal speed refers to the typical operating speeds that trains might travel under ideal circumstances and is not suitable for the specific safety considerations present on non-controlled tracks. Excessive speed is not a recognized term within the RWP guidelines; instead, the focus is on managing speed to ensure safety. Maximum speed could imply the upper limits of train speed, which does not address the safety protocols necessary for movements on non-controlled track, where careful management of speed is vital due to the increased risk of accidents and the presence of workers in close proximity to moving trains.
