European Awareness Day on level crossings
The European Awareness Day on level crossings is a joint commitment that will be organised in June 2009 with a focus on educational measures and the promotion of safe behaviour, shared among four of the European Road Safety Charter signatories: European Rail Infrastructure Managers, Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER), European Level Crossing Forum, UIC (International Union of Railways).


The European Awareness Day on level crossings will link a series of national events on the same date, constructed around the common theme “Stop accidents! Europe for Safer Level Crossings!”.

Currently, rail sector and road organisations from 20 countries but also a number of European instances, which are all members of ELCF, have agreed to participate in the European Awareness Day and it is hoped that more will join in the next few months. In addition, the website www.levelcrossing.net will soon become a platform for detailed information on good practices and educational material designed to highlight the issue of risky behavior at and around level crossings.
