The Subject

Level crossing is the most dangerous place at which most accidents take place in connection with railway vehicles. While going by train in Poland we pass a level crossing almost every 1.5 km. Many of them do not have any safety devices like light or sound signal or car stops. In Poland there are almost 15 000 level crossings at which around 200 accidents happen with 50 fatalities in a year. These numbers are rising although PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. (the main rail infrastructure manager) implements many projects for infrastructure revitalisations and modernisations.In this report the basic types of level crossings and current legal situation are described. Also, basic guidelines and troubles with the subject in question are shown. The author discusses statistical data about accidents and shows its most frequent causes. At the end, the author tries to analyze if it is
