This standard sets out methodologies to establish the risk of road vehicle incursion at public and non-public sites. 

This standard covers the following scenarios: 

a) Overbridge sites carrying single carriageway roads, dual-carriageway roads and motorways; 

b) Neighbouring sites where road and rail are beside each other; 

c) Areas adjacent to a railway line where vehicles regularly park. 

This standard specifies: 

a) The risk-ranking tools and their applicability; 

b) How to prioritise sites for initial application of the risk-ranking tools; 

c) How to apply the risk-ranking tools; 

d) How to interpret results from application of the risk-ranking tools; 

e) How to carry out a detailed assessment of risk at high-risk sites; 

f) How to identify cost-effective risk control measures. 

For public sites this module should be used in conjunction with the Department for Transport Traffic Advisory Leaflet 06/03 (TAL 06/03) “Managing the accidental obstruction of the railway by road vehicles”.
