Evolution of the number of level crossings per area

Annual evolution of the number of level crossings in service on the Infrabel network by zone. A level crossing is a junction between a public or private road and one or more railway tracks. A level crossing with active signalling warns of the approach and/or passage of a train. A level crossing with active signalling warns of the approach and/or passage of trains.The Infrabel network is managed in five zones: Central, North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West.When cars, cyclists and pedestrians have to cross the tracks, there are always risks - because a train can't just stop. This is why Infrabel has been working for years to reduce the number of crossings between lanes and public roads.More information in the data on deleted level crossingsLevel crossings are no longer included in this data if:they are transferred to private partners their line has been decommissioned (in this case, the level crossing is also decommissioned).
