This project, following a joint consultation in 2010, aims to
modernise and clarify the safety regime governing level crossings
in Great Britain. It aims to make it easier to close level
crossings where necessary and preserve rights of way where
appropriate. It recommends that safety should be regulated entirely
by the Health and Safety at Work, etc Act 1974, and approved codes
of practice and guidance under new powers given to the Office of
Rail Regulation. Modern safety regulation should also take
precedence over safety provisions in special Acts. It is also
recommended that the Level Crossings Act 1983 be repealed. In place
of level crossing orders under that Act, there should be
regulations making provision for level crossing plans which may be
entered into voluntarily in respect of public and private level
crossings if the parties whish to create such an arrangement. Also
recommended are creation of duties on railway operators and traffic
authorities; clarification of boundaries between the enforcement
responsibilities of the Office of Rail Regulation and those of the
Health and Safety Executive; and disapplication of obsolete
statutory provisions. Most of the recommendations for reform of the
law are given effect in the draft Level Crossings Bill and draft
Level Crossings Plans Regulations both of which are included in the
report
