National strategy to reduce deaths at railway level crossings


The Australasian Railway Association (ARA) has welcomed the launch of the National Railway Level Crossing Safety Strategy (2010 – 2020) that delivers a nationally-coordinated action plan to reduce deaths and near misses at Australian railway level crossings.
 
Developed by the Rail Level Crossing Group (RLCG) and approved by the Australian Transport Council, the strategy assigns responsibility for critical action items including:
  • creating a nationally aligned approach to safety at railway level crossings,
  • applying lessons from road safety practices to railway level crossing safety management,
  • improving community understanding of the risks and importance of compliance, and
  • harnessing the potential of new technologies for railway level crossings.
Mr Bryan Nye, ARA CEO welcomed the national approach and safety improvements the strategy will provide for Australian railway level crossings.
 
“Reducing incidents at railway level crossings is the rail industry’s highest safety priority and it’s great to see railway level crossings receive proactive national attention,” Mr Nye said.
 
“Crashes at level crossings affect not only the car drivers and passengers who often lose their lives, but also the train drivers, passengers and broader community.
 
“Every incident is avoidable and the rail industry looks forward to working with the RLCG to see the strategy come to life and improve safety at railway level crossings.”
 
Comprised of representatives from all governments and members of both the road and rail transport industry, the RLCG was formed in 2009 as a new governance structure for railway level crossings in Australia.
 
On average 100 incidents occur at Australian railway level crossings, causing 37 deaths annually. The strategy aims to reduce the number of incidents and fatalities at these sites.
 
The strategy paper is available for download here.
