Canadian Road/Railway Grade Crossing Detailed Safety Assessment Field Guide

The purpose of this document is to guide individuals through a safety assessment of road/railway grade crossings. It provides an overview of the safety assessment objectives and process, guidelines for selecting an assessment team and developing a program, and methodologies for conducting crossing assessments. It should be noted that the field sheets or ‘prompt lists’ included in this guide, cannot, and should not take the place of experience and due diligence by members of the assessment team. Rather, the lists are provided to remind those in the field of the range of issues that must be considered in the review.
