| Occurrence | Car Strike at Morrough Level Crossing, XG173, Galway. |
| Occurrence Date | 14 February 2011 |
| Date Closed | 20/09/2016 |
The Car Driver approached and drove onto the Level Crossing thinking that it was a road junction. This maybe as a result of there not being any approach signage to Level Crossing and the signage at the Level Crossing not communicating effectively the instructions required to operate the Level Crossing. The RAIU make the following safety recommendation:
IÉ should liaise with local authorities where private road level crossings can be accessed from a public road to ensure there is advance warning to road users.
