Implemented
Rail R
Accident
26.6.2009
B5/2008R/S257
Suosituksen perustelu
The road rises too sharply before the level crossing and there is no proper wait platform. In addition, visibility is poor and does not meet the regulations in force. The crossing was also not equipped with the unprotected railway level crossing warning sign. A report in the level crossing database notes that the level crossing is dangerous. Although the Konttila level crossing is on a private road with little traffic, the track speed limit is 140 km/h and limited visibility makes even a diligent crossing dangerous.
Recommendation
The sightlines of the level crossing should be improved and the wait platforms should be reconditioned to meet regulations and warning sign 171 should be installed.
