Abstract

This paper reports the development of the National Railway Level Crossing Safety Strategy and summarises its content, including the Action Plan for individual actions across Australia. The report summarises the major issues, provides a contextual framework and identifies the strategic directions to improve rail and pedestrian crossing safety. The availability and consequences of the crash data was a particular issue which made development of the Strategy difficult and was identified to be resolved. The national Strategy represents a commitment by State, Territory and Commonwealth Governments to improving railway level crossing safety over the next few years. A key component in development of the Strategy was the contributions of the wide range of stakeholders. The range of different responses are summarised and discussed. The reasons why some issues and actions were included or excluded from the Strategy are discussed. Current progress on implementation of the Action Plan to implement the Strategy is provided.
