Where ONTRACK is the rail access provider, it will also construct or reconstruct level crossings in accordance with its standards. Other rail access providers may have specific requirements.

The road controlling authority is responsible for the formation and maintenance of the road surface beyond 5 m and all associated pavement marking related to the level crossing regardless of the 5 m distance.
