Public Works Act 1981

Railways

167: Rights of way where railway along or across road on level

You could also call this:

“Old rule about trains crossing roads has been removed”

This law used to be about rights of way when a railway ran alongside or across a road at the same level. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this rule on 1 April 1993. They did this as part of changes made by another law called the Railway Safety and Corridor Management Act 1992. Now, if you want to know about railway crossings and roads, you might need to look at newer laws that replaced this one.
