Preventive Road Safety Campaign at Railroad Crossings
On 8 July, a preventive railway safety campaign organized by LTG Group and the Lithuanian Police was taking place at railway level crossings across Lithuania. During the campaign, road users at the busiest and highest‑risk crossings were reminded of the key rules for safe behaviour when crossing railway tracks.
The campaign was held at 24 railway level crossings in cooperation with LTG Group representatives, the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and Lithuanian police officers. Unique snail‑shaped reflectors were distributed, and drivers and pedestrians were encouraged to follow the Road Traffic Regulations. The aim of the campaign is to increase awareness among drivers and pedestrians, promote responsible behaviour, and draw attention to potential risks when crossing railway tracks.
“We care about people’s safety all year round. Especially now, during school vacation, both drivers and pedestrians need to be extra vigilant. At the same time, we are actively investing in technical railway safety and modernizing the railroad crossings themselves. Only through joint efforts can we achieve zero fatalities on the railways,” says Minister of Transport and Communications Juras Taminskas.
According to Aleksandras Zubriakovas, Director of Corporate Affairs at LTG, such initiatives are an important part of consistent safety measures that help prevent railway accidents.
“Every prevention campaign allows us to reach people directly and remind them that safety starts with simple decisions—stop, look around, assess the situation, and follow the traffic rules. We’ve seen that face-to-face contact and clear explanations are more effective than any fine. That is why we consistently invest not only in infrastructure but also in raising public awareness,” says A. Zubriakovas.
The campaign is part of the broader social‑educational safety programme “Safe Tracks” implemented by LTG Group. Two preventive campaigns at level crossings are planned this year, each expected to cover around 25 railway crossings.
The “Safe Tracks” campaign includes not only on‑site actions at crossings but also broader public information measures. Campaign signage has already been installed on the Vilnius–Kaunas highway at the 52nd kilometre, and video clips are displayed on station platform screens. In the future, these video messages will also be shown on train screens — this will be implemented once new trains enter service.
Additional audio safety announcements are being prepared for railway stations, long‑term visual communication is planned inside trains, and the campaign’s website Safe Tracks | LTG Infra is continuously updated. Campaign messages have also been broadcast nationally as social advertising.
Railway safety remains one of LTG Group’s key priorities. To reduce the risk of accidents, investments are made in technical safety measures, level crossing upgrades are carried out, and by the end of the year signage will be renewed at 34 pedestrian crossings and walkways between platforms. Educational visits to schools and camps, as well as preventive activities, are also consistently implemented.
Thousands of violations are recorded at level crossings every year, and accidents most often occur due to careless or irresponsible behaviour.
Experts remind that a train’s braking distance can reach several kilometres, meaning that even seemingly “I’ll make it in time” situations can end tragically. LTG therefore reminds everyone that when crossing railway tracks, it is essential to stop, make sure no train is approaching, obey traffic lights and road signs, and never attempt to cross when a prohibitive signal is displayed.
