Abstract
This special topic report focuses on the risk that arises at the road-rail interface. It reviews the performance levels achieved during the last ten calendar years at the points where highways meet the railway. It presents the levels of risk and harm to passengers, the workforce and members of the public from bridge strikes, road vehicle incursions and the operation of level crossings. This report reviews recent trends to highlight areas of changing safety performance and presents the first detailed results of monitoring against the National Reference Values (NRVs) and the Strategic Safety Plan (SSP) trajectories.
