This article systematically examines the foreign experience of legal regulation of public safety in railway transport based on a comparative-legal analysis. Modern approaches to ensuring transport safety are highlighted using examples of normative legal acts of international organizations and developed countries, institutional mechanisms, and administrative-practical measures. The role of digital technologies and intelligent control systems in strengthening public safety is revealed, and the necessity of harmonizing national legislation with international standards is scientifically substantiated. The results of the study contribute to the development of theoretical conclusions and practical recommendations for improving safety mechanisms in railway transport.
