VEHICLE DRIVER BEHAVIOUR AT LEVEL CROSSINGS
The Health & Safety Executive has been concerned at the behaviour of motor vehicle drivers at road traffic signal controlled level crossings. A particular concern relates to those motorists who drive over a crossing whilst the warning lights are flashing. The Transport Research Laboratory has undertaken a study which has reviewed earlier research, analysed the relevant statistics and interviewed 100 motorists observed driving through a crossing after the lights had commenced flashing. This report details the different elements of the study and discusses possible ways to improve the safety of level crossings. (A)
