What should be avoided during the evacuation of passengers according to safety protocols?

Evacuating to the roadbed should be avoided during the evacuation of passengers because it poses significant safety risks. The roadbed is typically located next to the tracks, where trains operate, and any movement in that area could put evacuees in danger from oncoming trains or other equipment.

Safety protocols emphasize ensuring that passengers are evacuated to safer locations, such as platforms or adjacent areas away from active tracks. This prevents potential accidents and injuries during an emergency evacuation. By choosing safer evacuation routes and locations, conductors help to ensure the wellbeing of everyone involved during the evacuation process.
