The International Level Crossing Awareness Day is a joint commitment
continuing from the success of the first European Level Crossing
Awareness Day held on 25th June 2009 in 28 countries raising public
awareness on the dangers of misbehaviour at level crossings.
Level crossing accidents account for only 1.2% of road deaths but 29% of all rail fatalities based on European statistics. Road and rail organisations from participating countries acknowledged their shared responsibility to deal with this issue by organising safety events to develop public awareness and safe behaviour at and around level crossings
Trackoff is Britain’s rail industry initiative to help educate children and teenagers about safe conduct on the railway.
Millions of young people live close to a railway line or use the railway to travel to school, to visit friends or to go on holiday.
Some are drawn to play on the railway; some feel like messing about.
All need to understand the dangers and consequences of playing on or misbehaving on the railway.
