The objective of this research was to study the physical characteristics of railway and road intersections. The main cause of accidents at railway intersections is non-compliance with traffic rules and improper use of safety equipment at railway intersections. The researcher studied and examined safety standards at 10 railway intersections in Chachoengsao Province. The traffic movement and the survey of safety equipment at railway intersections were used to analyze the data. From the analysis of the data, it was found that Point 9 Phanthong-Ban Pho Road and Point 2 Chachoengsao-Bang Nam- Priao Road There is a traffic movement of more than 100,000, considering the construction of a different level railway crossing and from the survey of safety equipment, it was found that the installation of safety equipment such as traffic signs Road markings and lighting systems. Not in accordance with the standards for safety equipment of the Department of Highways and the State Railway of Thailand In the memorandum of agreement between the Department of Highways and the State Railway of Thailand, B.E. 2535. The results obtained from this research can be applied to safety management by proposing guidelines for procuring standard safety equipment at railway intersections In order to prevent and reduce accidents that cause the loss of life and property in the future.
