Evolution of the level crossing
• 2500 years of
stagnation
• Until sometime
in the 1800s
when flagmen
were introduced
![Page 12: Jesse Baker, Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB): Railway level crossing (RLX) safety: New technology research and applications](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/5487b65d5906b5e70c8b45de/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Late 1800s we
saw closable
gates
• Shortly after
that came the
car !

• By the 1960s
we started to
see
automatic
level
crossings

Level crossings today
• 23,500 locations where roads intersect railway lines
around Australia.
• 100 incidents at level crossings per year
• 37 deaths
