📋 Tender Overview
Budapest, March 30, 2025 – By the end of March this year, 13 so-called third-party level crossing accidents had already occurred due to non-compliance with the Road Traffic Act. In 2025, 5 senseless deaths occurred due to inattentive, rule-breaking drivers. Therefore, MÁV and the ORFK-National Accident Prevention Committee are announcing a joint billboard design competition for high school students, the theme of which is safe traffic and the aim is to draw the attention of road users to the fact that they are approaching a railway crossing. High school students between the ages of 14 and 20 can apply for the competition in two categories. According to the competition announcement , the organizers are expecting poster designs made with an electronic device in the digital category, while in the handmade category, the organizers are expecting freehand drawings
There have been 13 accidents at level crossings on the MÁV network so far in 2025, resulting in 5 deaths, 2 serious injuries and 1 minor injury (in the same period last year, there were 12 accidents, 2 serious and 1 minor injury). There has been no fatal accident at a level crossing due to MÁV's fault since 2009, more than a decade and a half ago. The railway company asks passengers to always approach level crossings with extra caution.
