Comment

When the red flashing light of a barrier system lights up before rail traffic, all road users must stop in front of the diagonal cross. Driving on is strictly prohibited even if the half barrier is still open. The barriers have fast closing times and can jam vehicles. Rail vehicles are approaching at high speeds and have a very long braking distance of several hundred meters. Therefore, they cannot react situationally to obstacles.
