Suosituksen perustelu
Cable marking does not touch the structure of the tracks, and the work usually lasts only for a short time. In this sense, the work is comparable to clearing snow off the switches, for example. The goal of the following recommendation is to ensure that the appropriate protective measures are used in cable marking.
Recommendation
The Finnish Transport Agency must also find out if the instructions could be changed so that a trackwork permission could also be requested for cable marking without an advance notification (Advance information on train traffic (JETI)), if necessary.
