After yesterday's fatal crash between a train and an army personnel carrier in Raseborg that claimed four lives the safety of level crossings has once again been brought to the fore.
According to the Finnish Transport Agency, 27 people have died in level crossing accidents since 2013. All of the deaths occurred in crossings where there are no lights or warnings to alert drivers to the arrival of trains.
All in all, of the 2,778 level crossings in Finland, 2,102 are like that.
The map above shows the level crossings where an accident with casualties has taken place.
200 level crossings are most dangerous
The FTA ranks the level crossings on a scale of 1-7 based on the risk that it poses to drivers. The grading is based on visibility and the number of accidents that have occurred previously.
Two-hundred crossings have been classified as "7" - the most dangerous - and in some of them, such as Teollisuuskatu in Äänekoski or Alaniitynkatu in Lahti, an accident has happened almost every year since 2011.
While the number of accidents has fallen significantly since the early 2000s, the number of deaths has not dropped in the same proportion, the FTA says.
The crossing in Raseborg where Thursday's accident took place was classified as "5".
The following map shows the most dangerous level crossings, which the FTA has ranked either "6" or "7" in their 1-7 scale. The ranking is based on visibility and the number of past accidents.
At least one accident has occurred in all of the locations shown on the map.
The information on the map has been collected from FTA's database. Yle has not independently verified the information.
