Slow order
01
a directive issued to reduce speed for safety reasons on a railway track
What is a "slow order"?
A slow order is a temporary speed limit set on a section of railway track that requires trains to travel slower than usual. This is usually done to ensure safety during situations like track repairs, maintenance, or when the track is in poor condition. Slow orders are put in place to reduce the risk of accidents and allow trains to pass safely over the affected area. The speed limit is typically lower than the normal track speed, and the slow order remains in effect until the track is deemed safe for regular travel speeds again.
Example
The train conductor received a slow order due to construction work ahead on the tracks.
Passengers were informed of the slow order, which extended the travel time by twenty minutes.
The railway authorities imposed a temporary slow order following heavy rainfall to prevent potential track damage.
