“Such a threat exists both in relation to passengers of cars, trains, and in relation to railway transport workers (there is always a locomotive crew on a train, and tens and hundreds of people on a passenger train),” they explained.
Thus, Russian Railways proposes to introduce criminal liability for a collision with a train, regardless of the severity of the consequences, and also to strengthen administrative liability for violations on railway tracks, increasing the minimum period of deprivation of rights to 6 months, the maximum to 1 year, and for repeated violations to 2 years, the company emphasized.
Earlier it was reported that Russian Railways proposes to toughen penalties for accidents at railway crossings.
