Level crossing changes

摘要

The law Commission is asking for views on how the legislative framework governing the use and management of level crossings can be improved to reduce safety risks. Level crossings present the largest single risk of catastrophic train accident in Great Britain. Regulators, owners and operators of Britain's 8,000 level crossings who want to modernise crossings and enhance safety struggle to do so within a framework of laws which the Law Commission says are "outdated, complex and hard to understand".
