Special attention: Rail safety
Rail transport is one of the safest transport modes. It is operated exclusively by professionals
ensuring a high level of driver behaviour.
The figure below provides a decomposition of the rail fatalities in the EU27 from 2006 to
2009. 97% of these fatalities happened at level crossings or were caused by rolling stock in
motion. More than two‐thirds of the fatalities or almost 4,000 fatalities were due to
accidents caused by rolling stock in motion.
