Level crossing (LC), as an intersection of road and railway, is a traffic point with a high risk for the occurrence of traffic accidents. The causes of most traffic accidents on LCs are the result of LC user’s risky behaviour. Accidents happen on both passive and active LCs, indicating that the highest level of safety equipment does not guarantee "Vision 0". Therefore, in the absence of sufficient financial resources for the infrastructure manager for road and railway levelling or LC protection at the highest level, which includes barriers or half-barriers, the so-called low-budget measures are implemented. This paper provides a review of good practice examples of implemented low-budget measures that contributed to accident prevention and increasing safety on LCs. In the literature, accident prevention measures on LCs are usually classified as educational, infrastructural, and technological. In this research, our focus was primarily on measures implemented on road infrastructure. First, we selected recommended measures from projects dedicated to safety on LCs, and then we searched the literature describing practical examples of applied low-budget measures. The collected findings can be recommendations for decision-makers to choose optimal low-budget measures for implementation.
