Improving the visibility of barriers

The visibility of red blinking warning signs should be improved at protected level crossings where bright sunlight from ahead inhibits the visibility of the level crossing warning signs. This has been tested along the Turku-Toijala track by replacing filament amps with LED lamps, and the results indicate that drivers find the visibility of LED lights good.

At the Suurisuo level crossing and similar level crossings, where it has been noted that sunlight hinders visibility, the visibility of barriers and warning signs should be improved by replacing red blinking filament lamps with blinking or flashing LED lights.
