Question 3173 — rail transport

Summary

Mr. Patrick Mignola draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the shortcomings in securing level crossings on the rail network. On October 21, 2017 in the town of Cognin in Savoie, a child was saved at the last minute by a motorist while he was stuck on the rails, shortly before a train passed. If we can We are delighted with such an outcome, and despite the efforts made by the government in recent years, all level crossings are not yet equipped to prevent fatal accidents as much as possible. The government plan to strengthen the safety of road users at level crossings established in 2008 provides for the treatment by removal or improvement of level crossings classified as “concerning” within a period of ten years. Indeed, the replacement operation with an uneven structure, the cost of which fluctuates between 5 million euros and 20 million euros per unit, is financed by the State and RFF to the tune of 50%, which requires local authorities to provide equivalent financing. He thanks her for the details she can provide on the evolution of the action plan for securing level crossings, particularly concerning the aspect financial, in order to allow the removal of level crossings within the deadlines set by this plan.
