(b) complements the requirements of the road rules in each jurisdiction in relation to level crossings;

(d) recommends the process and requirements for the application of new technology;
(e) provides a basis for the evaluation of changes to railway operations that affect the risks, and;

This Standard applies to new and upgraded level crossings and may be applied by rail infrastructure managers (RIM) against existing level crossings.
This Standard specifies minimum operational and engineering requirements of the life cycle of a level crossing. Note that all level crossings must comply with Rail Safety National Law and all stakeholders, including the rail infrastructure manager (RIM) and road manger, need to ensure compliance with that law.
