Clear message
The new awareness campaign transmits a clear message: 'Red means stop. Always.' There are accidents every year, sometimes fatal, as was the case in 2024 at the crossing on Noorderlaan in Antwerp, when a truck driver lost his life after a collision with a locomotive.
There are about 1,000 kilometres of track in the Antwerp port area alone. In Zeebrugge, there are 130 kilometres, with a total of 20 level crossings. In 2024, there were 9 accidents at level crossings in both port areas.
