11  Requirements for rail operations level crossings

11.1  Introduction

Rail operations level crossings are located on railway property and are used in the operation of railway business. They are generally, because of their limited use, level crossings with passive control. Rail operations level crossings can be defined in two categories:

• The first category is level crossings purely in use for the operation of the railway. These are rail access level crossings.
• The second category is level crossings typically providing access to rail access providers’ or rail operators’ facilities (eg marshalling yards, depot, workshops, etc where railway lines and level crossings are present). These are public access level crossings.
