| Occurrence | Collision between a Bord na Móna Flat Wagon and Kilcolgan Level Crossing Gates, Offaly, 8th June 2020 |
| Occurrence Date | 08 June 2020 |
The road signage on the approach to, and at, Kilcolgan Level Crossing was not compliant with the Department of Transport’s Traffic Signs Manual; given that signage should be erected as per the Department of Transport’s Traffic Signs Manual, the RAIU make the following safety recommendation:
Bord na Móna should update their Specification for Crossings to include the requirements of the Department of Transport’s Traffic Signs Manual; based on this Bord na Móna should update the signage on the approaches to all Bord na Móna level crossings.
