Creation of Rulebooks and Regulations

Zug nähert sich Bahnübergang mit vielen Verkehrszeichen

The planning, maintenance, and operation of level crossings require scientifically sound, practical, and coordinated rules. On the one hand, this applies to all levels of legal norms, from regulations and generally accepted technical rules to internal company specifications; and on the other hand, to the two transport systems involved and their individual contractors.

Currently, the German rules governing railroad crossings are scattered across numerous legal sources, which not only complicates their practical application but also leads to discrepancies in content. For example, when it comes to the question of where and what road markings should be applied in front of railroad crossings, four different sets of regulations provide three different answers. It is therefore advisable to seek professional help to improve this situation.
