Level crossings (Rail-road crossings and pedestrian crossings) are places where rail and road traffic meet directly. As such, they represent points of high risk where accidents often occur with serious consequences in the form of human casualties and material damage. Rail-road crossings and pedestrian crossings over the railway at level are not a problem and the subject of solving only the section of the railway, but the very safety of traffic at these points depends significantly on the construction-traffic solution of the road in the immediate vicinity of the railway crossing.
A big problem is the fact that there are a large number of railway-road crossings which, according to the regulations, would have to be built out of grade. However, due to the high costs of such solution, transport infrastructure managers often resort to other ways of securing railway-road crossings.
The paper presents some examples of good and bad practice in the location, construction and level of security of railway-road and pedestrian crossings on the reconstructed railway network in Croatia.
A comparison was made of some safety-technical solutions and technical means at our railway and road crossings of the European Union, as well as a comparison of the effectiveness of certain measures with regard to the behavior of road users.
