Passive level crossing safety also includes how well a railway line is visible. At level crossings, the most important prerequisites for traffic safety are sufficiently large visible areas combined with the correct behavior of road users.
Even though requirements for visible areas are described in detail in the regulations, questions often arise in practice. For example, parallel roads or roads crossing at very acute angles make it very hard to correctly determine the visible areas. In these and similar special cases, it is worth consulting an expert.
I can assist you with the following services regarding checks of visible areas:
- Determination of required visible areas in new construction projects
- Assessment and evaluation of visible areas for existing level crossings
- Review of land registry entries for properties at level crossings
- Visibility assessment in complex traffic situations
