Railway Level Crossing Safety

Safety at railway level crossings is very important for road users, train passengers and crews. Every year an average of 37 road users, vehicle occupants and pedestrians, die as a result of collisions with trains at railway level crossings.

Every one of these collisions could have been avoided.

Drivers, riders, cyclists and pedestrians are urged to slow down, look carefully, listen for trains and obey the road rules at railway level crossings.
