A serious problem on Polish Railways is the large number of level crossings on the network. There are about 14,400 level Crossing on the PLK network, which means an average distance between two level crossings is 1.4 km, The most numerous (8,500) and consequently the most dangerous are category "D” level crossings - marked only by “St Andrew's crosses', without red lighls, alarm bells or barriers. Almost 50 people lose their lives in level Crossing accidents every year and many morę are badly injured.
