the quest for safety

The view that roads are inherently safer cannot be supported statistically
in this country as the only people on the rails are people breaking the
rules, perhaps with a desire not to get out of the way of trains, whereas
lots of people walk along roads, and lots are killed.
However, a comparison with countries like Germany, where railways are often
crossed and even used as footpaths by the general population, suggests this
contention may be very wrong.
You can also consider countries like Lancashire.
