Although the number of vehicles and pedestrian accidents in the level crossings are rare, the number of districts and the increasing number of vehicles and the increasing number of vehicles due to 1970 thousand population and vehicle density at the level crossings are limited. Due to the number of railroads passing through the city naturally crossing the level crossings have led to an increase in vehicle and pedestrian accidents.
