Hiroshima Prefecture railway level crossings map. All at-grade road-rail intersections with risk classification — barriers, lights-only or unprotected crossings.
Hiroshima Prefecture all railway level crossings and grade crossings: points where road or footpath traffic crosses an active railway line at grade, without a bridge or underpass. Crossings are colour-coded by protection type: full barriers that descend when a train approaches; warning lights only with no physical barrier; and unprotected crossings with no automatic warning equipment. Level crossings account for a disproportionate share of railway accidents worldwide — the protection type is the single biggest factor in collision risk at any given crossing.
