Level crossings are still contributing to accidents and traffic jams-, and the pollution they cause can hinder sustainable development. Apart from that, the probability of an accident occurring at level crossings at crossings without guards is very high. The purpose of this research is to find out the management of level crossings by the local government. The type of research used in this article is normative legal research. The study results show that at level crossings with guard officers, the incidence of accidents tends to be smaller. The presence of crossing officers has proven effective in reducing the number of accidents. Based on Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation to become Law, railway infrastructure officers are required to have a proficiency certificate. For this reason, the regional government is obliged to be responsible for managing level crossings by recording the number of self-help guards at level crossings without a doorstop and then participating in community empowerment training to obtain a skills certificate. Furthermore, the local government is obliged to close illegal plot crossings and build guard posts.
