"This report describes an investigation carried out by the Rail Accident
Investigation Branch (RAIB) into the risk associated with user worked level
crossings (UWCs). UWCs are level crossings where railways intersect with
private roads, or minor public roads, where road users are responsible for
operating gates or barriers when crossing the railway. In some cases there
is no additional equipment to warn of approaching trains, and the user has to look, listen and decide for themselves whether it is safe to cross. In other cases there are telephones and/or warning lights provided to give information on the whereabouts of trains.
The investigation uses data from a series of accidents and incidents which
occurred at UWCs between June 2006 and December 2008, and other evidence
gathered by the RAIB from level crossing operators, train operators, and crossing users. The report makes recommendations about measures that the RAIB believes should be adopted to reduce the risk."
