Introduction
Rail safety informs how the public may address safety and disturbance concerns in and around their neighbourhood. The public have certain rights that protect their well-being and have a duty to report issues at crossings or noise disturbances. In addition to public concerns, operators also need to follow proper guidance for cancelling rail lines and safety at private crossing. Management of most crossings and railways fall under federal jurisdiction.
