platform edge
Where tracks begin
Platform edge is the boundary where a railway or subway platform meets the tracks—the line passengers must stay behind until boarding.
Transit systems warn riders to mind the platform edge or stand clear of the platform edge.
The term appears in safety announcements and signage, marking the zone where falling onto tracks becomes a danger.
