Let’s go to South Africa: 1168 level crossings.

Only African country were ILCAD was represented.

What to say about this country rich in landscapes, animals, … centre of the world lately for the football world cup.

When you travel to South Africa you have to see the BIG FIVE which refers to African lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and Cape buffalo. But there are plenty other beautiful animals to admire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But there are not only football stadiums and animals but also many level crossings in South African cities and in the countryside, the road infrastructure is also very wide. As a matter of fact railways, railway regulators, road and rail safety authorities and infrastructure managers and finally non profit organisations promoting safety education like “ARRIVE A LIVE” deploy a lot of efforts improving safety on their roads and tracks and particularly at the interface of road and rail.
