\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Efforts to improve safety at Broughty Ferry level crossing are being stepped up this week, as Network Rail and British Transport Police work together to raise awareness and encourage safe behaviour from both pedestrians and drivers. <\/p>\n

Located on Gray Street near the train station, the crossing sees around 120 trains pass through each day, some reaching speeds of up to 100mph. Despite clear signage, full barriers, lights, audible alarms and CCTV monitoring, incidents of misuse continue to occur. <\/p>\n

Broughty Ferry is the most misused public level crossing in Scotland. So far this year, there have been 18 recorded incidents, including people crossing despite warnings of an approaching train. In 2024-25, there were 32 incidents in total, and 54 in 2023-24.  <\/p>\n
