Sažetak
As a place of direct conflict of the railway and road traffic, level crossing (LC) represents a point of potential high risk of traffic safety. According to statistics, the drivers of road vehicles, as well as pedestrians are most often those who cause such emergencies, indicating their extremely low level of complying with the traffic regulations, so the behavior of traffic participants represents the main cause of traffic accidents at LCs. Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences (University of Zagreb) and Croatian Railways launched in 2016 preventive and safety educational project "Implementation of measures to improve the safety of the most vulnerable traffic participants at level crossings". The paper presents methods and the dynamics of the activities within project measures with special focus on the education of traffic participants, as an essential element for increasing traffic culture and reducing the traffic accidents at LCs.
