7.1  Introduction

The construction of level crossings requires the matching of road and rail levels into the final design. In some instances, this may be difficult, eg when multiple curved railway lines pass through a level crossing. For any proposed change in the existing road and/or rail geometry at a level crossing, the specific design requirements of the rail access provider must be incorporated into geometry and surfacing requirements. Where these are currently deficient, they should be reviewed as part of any road work projects adjacent to the level crossing.
