Rail Level Crossings

Safety at Unattended Level Crossings

There are more than 1000 Unattended Level Crossings on the Iarnród Éireann Network. These are level crossings where a member of the public, the user, will have to open and shut the gates. Under the Railway Safety Act 2005 persons who fail to shut gates after use are liable to a fine in excess of €1000.

  • Always expect a train!
  • Stop, Look both ways, listen
  • When the Railway is clear, cross quickly
  • Shut & fasten the gate after you, it's the law!

Remember, never ever stop on the railway line and always expect a train 

At these crossings it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that it is safe to cross and that trains and their passengers are not endangered.

Detailed Information on Level Crossings is available in handy booklet format from the RSA or on our Live Map here.

Below you will find detailed information for different users use of unattended level crossings:
