Both types are operated by a signaller or crossing keeper.

An RC crossing is limited to a maximum distance of 400 metres from the control point, and the operator must have a clear view of the crossing in normal weather conditions (there being no CCTV).

A CCTV crossing can be located many miles away from the control point. The operator uses the CCTV monitor to observe that the crossing is clear.
