Speed limits at level crossings

In violation of the guidelines, the speed limit on the road approaching the level crossing was too high. The incorrect speed limit does not indicate a change in conditions or support driver decision-making upon approaching a level crossing.

The Finnish Transport and Infrastructure Agency and other road keepers should review all speed limits, particularly at unprotected level crossings, and ensure that comply with the guidelines.

The speed limits are specified in the guidelines of the Finnish Transport and Infrastructure Agency. The Finnish Road Association should inform private road managers and the municipalities of the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities of the matter.
