The train is the safest means of transport in Austria. Yet every year many people have accidents on the railways due to ignorance and carelessness. You can read here which rules must be observed on railway systems to ensure that no dangerous situations arise in the first place!
Unfortunately, people in Austria again suffered accidents on the railways last year due to ignorance and carelessness, some of which were tragically fatal. Young people in particular often endanger their lives through hasty actions and misunderstood tests of courage.
Sometimes people cross tracks in places that are not intended for that purpose. They accept life-threatening risks for an illegal shortcut. They forget that there are differences between road and train traffic: trains are not cars: they cannot swerve and their braking distance is many times longer due to their weight.
Safety tips when crossing the tracks
- Always use the indicated paths to cross the tracks!
- You can reach your platform or home safely via viaducts and underpasses!
- Never walk on or right next to the track!
Greetings!
