“When we look at camera images, we are shocked if someone wants to cross the level crossing while the barriers are already closing,” says CEO John Voppen of ProRail. “Or that road users think they can already pass under the railway barriers, while another train is coming from the other side.” According to Voppen, this behavior is “life-threatening” and has a major impact on drivers and bystanders. “Especially if it leads to a collision.”
